Yep I always wonder the same. And they always seem to clean the toughest stains, but the new versions always seem to clean the toughest stains better than before.
So when they originally said it they must have been lying. So they are probably lying now.
On the same kind of topic when something that says it\'s new when in fact it isn\'t. Here\'s a good example
What the hell is this.......This ain\'t new, it\'s a McChicken Sandwich. Mayo-Chicken my big hairy arse.

I usually buy Mae Ploy, a proper big bottle of Thai Sweet Chilli that costs about £3 for a litre
I bought this Encona stuff at the local Portuguese deli as it was the only one they had. Expensive little gaff it is as well!

Not to get all serious, but when so many people not only have the necessities of life, but countless other possessions beyond even the needs of comfort... how else do you get them to buy things?
Thanks to this mentality, people have spent themselves well into the poorhouse, and now when the hammer drops they are profoundly screwed. So in a very real sense, \"new and improved\" is one of the reasons the headlines read THOUSANDS OF HOMES REPOSSESSED and not THOUSANDS DIP INTO SAVINGS TO WEATHER TOUGH TIMES.
(I\'m glad my hobby is relatively cheap, at least)

At the end of the day I think that many people strive for perfection and any little step can be claimed as an improvement. Most TV ads and packaging will use these teeny tiny steps as an excuse to re-promote their product - as I like to call it the \"Homer Simpson attitude\", go for the shiniest item on the shelf Marketing is a powerful tool - a Nutrigrain bar actually has more calories and fat in it than a packet of Wotsits, but because its being sold as a healthy option we buy it.
However I don\'t think that we\'re ever going to reach perfection in every aspect of life. Look at the food industry in most first world countries. Food is easy to come by and costs comparatively little - we now have obesity as a problem, so we\'re now striving to improve our food to be more healthy (ok not the best example but you get the jist).
Wow how deep is that going!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
I get a kick out of all of the overused advertising phrases. \"New and Improved\" is so tiresome - unless you are shopping at a second-hand store, everything you buy is going to be new, at least relatively speaking. \"Improved\" is so subjective - make one minor change in the content or the packaging and you could claim that the product is improved! I get a mental image of some poor saps strapped to chairs being force-fed new products, and some drill sergeant type yelling in their faces, \"IS IT BETTER YET?\".
Don\'t even get me started on \"All Natural\" or \"Organic\". What exactly is \"All Natural\" on a package of chicken supposed to mean anyway? Where are the unnatural chicken farms? Cow manure and pond scum are organic, but I don\'t imagine they would sell well as a new Ben & Jerry\'s flavor...

At least \"organic\" means \"certified as a product of organic agriculture and food processing\". And you can\'t legally use the label unless you fulfill the requirements. \"All natural\" can mean nothing more than \"we want health-conscious yuppies to buy our product at a premium price\".
