Marketing Scheme????

A few weeks ago I bought a small container of Oxi Clean to clean some spots left by our little one. I opened the container and couldn't find the scoop. Come to find out there is a MAJOR design flaw in this product. The scoop is almost as tall as the vessel and they must put the scoop in and pour the detergent over it. It took me first trying to fish for it with a chop stick and then finally losing a bunch on the counter and floor to retrieve that thing. You can't even put the scoop back in after pulling it out. It might be a marketing scheme because I do like the product, but the scoop situation is enough to make me buy the bigger bucket next time I need some. Here is some photo evidence of the whole situation....

This made me smile. I just bought the EXACT same product and had the exact same issues. The scoop is currently resting on top of the lid. :) I didn't want to buy the big bucket because I wasn't sure if I would like it. So far I am happier with just using Shout.
