I was thinking the same last night ... pinning it to something.
I had convinced myself that I'd only "thought" I'd put it in there ... til you mentioned the same.
They are a lot lighter than the Shout Colour Catchers.

Just saw on another thread that Colour Catchers are supposed to be place in a mesh bag, if used in a front loading machine (to prevent them ending up in the mechanism). I bet the same would work for these.

Although I don't have a front loader ... just a top loading stacker!

I'll be trying to remember now to pin them to something .... or into a mesh lingerie bag.

Now I'm worried - I thought it was a one time disappearance. Maybe next time I'll pin it to something larger. They are awfully small and light.

Try putting them in a lingerie bag. That's what the Color Catchers package suggests for folks with front load washers (like me). Won't go down the drain then!

So, today I went to the grocery and found lots of boxes of the Shout Color Catchers. Like maybe 20 boxes. Also, I signed up to get a free sample via the internet. I'm wondering why free samples would be sent out on something that's being discontinued? So maybe it's just in your area or one store? There's an 800 number on the box of Color Catchers. Maybe they could tell you what is happening.

It's only Canadian stores. You're in FL, so you're not affected.
