Blue Loctite - now in a new Red Bottle!

[gannonrt]

I just ran out of blue Loctite and picked up some today at the local hardware store. Blue Loctite now comes in a red container. Didn't see the red Loctite donor sure what color container that's in now. Is that dumb product marketing or what? I actually took a while deciding if I wanted to get it since red Loctite where you meant to put blue would suck.

We use it alot at work and ours have been coming in red bottles for awhile

I don't like that, as most are used to the Red 271 being packaged in "Red" containers. Kinda messed up.

I picked up a bottle not too long ago at Harbor Freight, and kept having to check myself because it is a red bottle. Not sure what they're saving or what they're trying to do but having "blue" made visual recognition a lot easier.

Now I have to find the "semi-permanent" to confirm, and double check that the liquid is indeed blue, not red.

Because that's not a mistake you want to make.
