Very good! Now to your questions:
Why does 'product' in the 4th sentence have no "s" added?-- For consistency with the other singular ('kind'), since only one different product is discussed.
Can I say "Different kind of products" like the 1st sentence-- You can, but careful writers would not.
But the first two sentences are acceptable? Why, Mister Mic
