Does anyone know if Frish toilet cleaner is still made? - it used to be in a smallish green bottle and was advertised on TV so much in the 1980s (usually during films), often showing a wonderful waterfall cascade sort of thing inside the toilet bowl as soon as one applied the liquid under the rim. I believe that Lever Brothers (later Unilever) made it. I typed in "Frish" on my Tesco online shop and they didn't have it. Is Toilet Duck its equivalent these days? My own toilet rim is graced now and again with Duck if I haven't got that Harpic Bloo hung on the left-side of the toilet bowl.
I saw a Bettabuy's scene in a 1991 Coronation Street where (almost product placement, ahoy), Frish was seen in the background in a Reg Holdsworth scene. It me wonder how different it was as it was in a smallish green bottle with a "keep out of reach of children" warning on it, and also a white childproof cap on the top of it, comparing the green bottle to the big Blue Domestos in its huge bottle, killing all germs dead. Even I knew back in the 1980s that they were "adult only" objects in the home which were too dangerous for youngsters to be in contact with.
It's always something which sticks in your mind - why would me as a child back then, remember a certain brand of toilet cleaner? Perhaps because "Frish" sounds more like something that Frank Muir would define on Call My Bluff?
