I have been conditioned to think of "Free & Clear" as having no coloring or nasty scents added and then I come across this and was duped

Flavored dish soap is kinda wild in general. Yes, I want the things I eat and drink off of to all taste vaguely of chemical lemons.

The default should be plain soaps and plain dish detergent. Some are so potent that the scent sticks to the dishes even after washing, and unfortunately, the food too. Especially that dawn spray soap.

This is such bullshit manipulative marketing, similar to when companies will put out an ad saying something like "ONLY $1.99/MONTH" in large, bold letters and then below it have tiny fine print saying "for the first month, then $420.69/month".

"Free of dyes. Soft pear scent.". Boom. Done. Not only is it short, but it's clear and accurate. Almost nobody cares if it's "clear" as long as it's dye-free.
