Well, I read an article about Scotts, the makers of Miracle-Gro suing TerraCycle, a small New Jersey based company for making an organic product that competes with Miracle Gro. Scotts claims TerraCycle's bottle looks too much like their own. What do you think?
It's so ridiculous and I'm very annoyed with Scotts. I don't plan on using Miracle-Gro any more. It's petty and selfish of them to try to stop people from doing something good for the environment. I don't think that bottle looks anything like Miracle-Gro and even if it did, is that against the law? Why is okay for dollar stores to sell knock-off house cleaners that look just like Windex? I don't get it. It all comes down to money and unfortunately, that's all some people care about.
