But they're cute!
I know that I'm a sucker for things in nifty packaging, but I've really been enjoying using Electrasol Tabs in our dishwasher (yes, I realize how lame it sounds to say that). Each of those little individually wrapped tablets kind of reminds me of a piece of candy for my dishwasher, though I am a bit embarrassed at how over-packaged they really are.

I was using the Electrosol tabs myself, but we have really hard water. They weren't doing a very good job, so I switched to Cascade.
My husband calls them "dish pills." As in, "honey- we need to get more dish pills at Target."
See, you are not alone in your love of the dishwasher tabs.

Your not alone in your love of household products. Although while perusing Whole Foods supermarket I saw some natural householder cleansers I would like to try when I have a wee one.

Very cool!
Ani, Chris brought home some sort of natural laundry detergent over the weekend so we can start laundering baby clothes - you know what they say about great minds :)

I also use Electra Sol tabs, because measuring dishwasher detergent seems to result in cloudy glasses in my house (too much detergent I guess). The overpacking is cringe-worthy, but I think you would have a mess of powder in the bottom of the can otherwise. I find they are cheapest at Costco in the super-size barrel.

Yeah, I also like the barrel from Costco :)
