Bounce is John Cena; Downy is Timothée Chalamet

Both Bounce Original and Downy Infusions dryer sheets soften pet blankets and neither falls apart in the dryer (though Downy is slightly thinner). The real difference is who you are at 11 p.m. in the grocery aisle. Bounce is the everyman — cheap, familiar, zero questions. Downy Infusions is the prettier cousin with a signature scent story and a price tag that makes you squint at the receipt.
