New and Improved?

Welcome back to the Loony Bin!

Tonights subject - New and Improved?

Yesterday was my birthday and today...I'm sick! How ironic! So, I've been laying here in my bed all day pondering life. This, of course, isn't always a good idea. So what was I pondering? Things that are new and improved. Why is it that when a new product comes out on the market, it always seems to be New and Improved? If it's so improved then why is the previous version still being sold? For example, I use a particular brand of laundry detergent which sells quite a few different versions. Each one listed as New and Improved! So, if they are leaving the old version on the shelf, what does that say for us as consumers? Do we just prefer to continue using an old product because we fear change? If I was to sell something that I had just improved (made better), I would certainly not want to sell the previous version. To me, that would be selling something that just wasn't as good. Of course, these days, manufacturers are so unethical that it probably doesn't matter, anyway. How do we know things are improved? Anyone can make that claim whether true or not. Ok, the room is starting to spin so, I need to close and get some sleep.
