Tide products worth price?

In the article, several different detergents were used to wash swatches with tough to get out stains. The ones with visible stains left were the not so good detergents and the swatches without visible stains left were obviously the good detergents.
Best performers were three Tide products: Tide with Bleach, Tide Coldwater, and Tide HE for frontloaders. Yet there are detergents that cost half the price with similar results. Wouldn't that put pressure on Tide to lower their prices? Are you really saving money if you are using the Tide versus the other detergents?

I think if Tide's detergents are really useful, there will be more and more consumers to buy its production. As to the chart, the demand curve will shift to the right, so the price will fall and quantity demanded will rise. The consumer surplus will increase, and the total profits will also increase.
