@Seagoon So I'm getting a head start on the weekend by getting a couple of loads of washing done this evening.
But.
It annoys me that they no longer include a scoop with the laundry powder anymore.
Yes, I'm all for less plastic.
So why not make the scoop out of cardboard?
Our local Chinese takeaway can figure out how to do a cardboard soup spoon. You're telling me the global multinational can't figure out how to do a laundry powder scoop from cardboard?

Go to your local Vinnes or Brotherhood or Salvos. Look in the kitchenware section for a 1/2 or 1/3 cup measuring scoop or spoon or cup. May cost you all of 20 cents. My local Vinnies has zillions of these that have become detached from their sets and are perfect for the purpose.

@Thornburywitch That's a really good suggestion 😊
My partner tidied up the laundry during the week and threw out the old container — with the scoop — without thinking.
I did manage to find a lid that was roughly the right size, thankfully.
On the upside, most of the washing will be out of the way, meaning one less chore to do over the weekend 😎

This annoys me too. It’s too fiddly to figure out how many grams or teaspoons it whatever measure they suggest you use, and find an appropriately sized vessel at home. Just give me a scoop or sell it separately.
