Nice bottles. The cleaning thing made my head swell up and I couldn't see or breathe. <strong>And I'll admit it: I have a HUGE hate-on for Rashid.</strong> to wit: "We have addressed the world’s problems." (http://karimrashid.com/manifesto_fr.html). To which I say: cbc.ca, bbc.uk.com, cnn.com. I will grant you: Method ALWAYS catches my eye. Method is smart to green the containers as well as what's inside them. My reaction to the cleaning product means I won't touch them. But I always have to do a double take. Now if they change their recipes and convince me to try them again, maybe I would buy. Method. Nice bottles. The cleaning thing made my head swell up and I couldn’t see or breathe.

In my last place I didn't have much on my open bathroom shelf, so I displayed Burt's Bees and Tom's of Maine packaging even if the cardboard boxes were empty. Neither can claim this kind of innovation even while Burt's Bees stands out with its vintage illustrations and neat little tins. The shape is not as important to their brand. I don't use Method, personally, but I like the fact that while "green," the packaging is changeable and diverse; the market is saturated with the colour (a particular shade really) to the point where it can be meaningless. That you want to keep and reuse the bottle must have been a clever and deliberate decision on their part. It's sexy to be green... As for germaphobia... well, best of luck!
