I Hate That

[ithildin]

You just discover a product you really like, and when you got to buy more, find out it's been discontinued! Last year, at Bath & Body works, I bought a shower gel form a new line they were carrying, Aquatanica Spa. I really liked it it -- it had a fresh oceany sorta scent, made with seaweed and other sea type ingredients. I went to the website, and they've discontinued it! The bottle said it was a line from France, but it looks like it was actually made by B&B W since I can't find it anywhere else but on Ebay. I'm bummed. My favourite showergel by Aveda (sage and cedar), which I'd used for years, was discontinued last year, and this was what I'd replaced it with. To add insult to injury, the B&B site recommended I try instead one of their other lines, which they claim is similar, but it's almond scented! Bleah! Almonds do not smell like the ocean where I come from.

This always happens to me! And I hate it as well. I still pout that the purse I carried for 15 years got discontinued and when I went to buy a new one I was SOL. Change sucks!

What's particularly annoying is they only had it for a year! What's with that?

I have no idea, but with all the money they spend on formulation and packaging and marketing, you would think they would last more than a year!
