This came to me when I was writing rainchecks for this particular brand of detergent. This is how I picture a customer taking what's put on the raincheck literally.
(Customer comes up to checkout with a bottle of Tide and hands the checker a raincheck for All Detergent (the brand that is). Checker takes a look at the detergent and raincheck and sees that the customer doesn't have the right detergent for the raincheck.)
Checker: Sir, you have the wrong detergent.
Customer: It says all detergent on the raincheck which means that I can get whatever detergent I want.
Checker: All Detergent is a brand. That's what the raincheck is for.
Customer: They should clarify that. That's something that some people can take literally.
