What on earth would a woman of that ilk want with Ariel washing powder?  You put it in your washing machine, not your tub!<\/p>\n<p>I just hope they are not selling their wares to poor people who really have better things to spend their money on.  We all know about the Nestle baby milk scandal &#8211; their products are still not sold in student union shops in the UK because of that.
