Amplex Fresh Breath Capsules

I have used Amplex capsules for at least 20 years and think they are the best breath freshener around. However, the company have redesigned the container with a spring type dispenser which is a total disaster. My wife does not have the strength to pull the lever back to release the capsules. I can do it occasionaly, but of late I have to prise open the container with a screwdriver, and put all of the capsules into a small metal tin and use that as the dispenser.

I imagine that it's expensive to produce too. Someone, somewhere got paid to design this blunder. Wonder if they still have a ...  Read the complete review

AMPLEX CAPSULES The new anti-dispenser-dispensers are a no - no. I checked with Sainsbury's Chemists at their flagshi[p branch and they agreed. They recommend alternative products which I don't want. Obviously the Executives at AMPLEX have not tried out the dispensers. Please will someone put in an eMail address for me to send my complaint to. I can see why so many National firms never want their addresses made available in case complaints would have to be ...  Read the complete review
