An investigation by ABC News reveals that some laundry products sold in 5 gal pails, like Tide, Gain, or Downey are actually fakes. Procter & Gamble doesn't even manufacturer these products in those sizes. So if you see these online or at flea markets, don't waste your money.

This is nothing new. It has been going on since 6 years ago.

Huge risk for little price savings in my opinion.

OK. Maybe you'd feel differently if you did a lot of laundry.
