Tide

Consumer Staples

Tide is a laundry detergent brand launched by Procter & Gamble in 1946, developed from wartime synthetic-detergent research and marketed as a modern alternative to older soap-based washing powders. It became the best-selling laundry detergent brand in the United States, sustained through decades of formula and packaging innovation (including liquid, pod and pad formats), and it is a frequently cited example in marketing and brand-management education of sustained category leadership.
