"Improvements," much like beauty, are in the eye of the beholder. There's a lot more marketing power in terms like "new" and "improved" than there is in the concept of "the same great stuff your grandmother used." As a result, the folks selling the stuff are always looking for a frash angle. The truth is that the actual product may not have changed much at all. For all we know, they've done something minor to "improve" the box the soap is sold in.
I'm getting grumpy enough about adverts that the harder they try to sell me something, the harder I resist.
