Smart!
I bet it is about what percentage of the formula was kept "original" that allowed them to keep name on packaging.

Just curious how is it possible in Europe, of all places, that a company is allowed to completely change a product and keep its retail name?
As far as I can tell, the formula is changed (right off the bat I would say this is a different product, regardless of the end result), the scent is changed, the performance is changed.
And yet, M&W kept its name as TABAC ORIGINAL.
At the very least, it should NOT be branded and marketed as "Original Tabac."
Same goes for Coca Cola or similar old products…The scent has been tweaked since 1959; today's scent is a bit different, vs some vintages, IME.
Precisely (same goes for 'XPEC ORIGINAL').Same goes for Coca Cola or similar old products…
I don’t want to ride a dead horse but there are many brand products that have even different compositions/recipes for different markets yet they are all labeled and sold under the original brand.Oh, they can keep their, now trashed, brand name as TABAC. But the add-on "ORIGINAL" still bothers me.
I admit, a little bother, but bother nevertheless.
Why little? While they keep selling "TABAC ORIGINAL" packaging, I still have a stash of TABAC ORIGINAL shaving soap.
Ha.
You are correct.Isn’t Mexican Coke produced with cane sugar whereas US juice is made with high glucose fructose?...
Which product, the one with tallow or the one without? Just a rhetorical question.Tabac is the company, not the product. The product is "Original"...
Go to Google shopping and search for "Teva Original"Which product, the one with tallow or the one without? Just a rhetorical question.
I am done here.
I see your perspective,
those ingredients arent very expensive,coconut oil as a part of the soap base is also featured in many cheap shaving
creams,that are sold for 95 cents per 100ml (palmolive)
Or for the tallow, the cheap Arko stick,that contains much more tallow than the tabac soap
(50 cents per 75g stick)
So i dont think,that the reason for the new recipe is from a financial position,
i would think that they did it ,maybe to accomodate to a "younger" generation of buyers or change the performance
and we all know that the main cost from soaps/creams doesnt come from the ingredients,but
from the work/production/packaging and distribution.
just trying to look at it from a neutral perspective,
because we as people tend to panic, if something will not be available anymore, and suddenly it is a must have even
if it was not before

As detailed previously the two most expensive ingredients in Tabac old formula are Tallow and Coconut Oil; both these ingredients have been replaced by cheaper synthetic surfacants in the new formula Tabac...
