No one would buy the awful flavour otherwise. All part of the great "I know what I want to make and you just have to buy it anyway" conspiracy. God forbid that we should actually buy what WE want. Case in point - bath soap. Every supermarket in Aust stocks one million brands of liquid soap, but only (at most) 3 different kinds of bar soap. I prefer to use bar soap in the shower - and the brand I prefer is only available occasionally. It appears that other folk also prefer this brand as it sells out in approximately 3 nanoseconds when it's in stock. Then there's a wait of months before it's in stock again. So when I see it I buy up several months worth. As do the other buyers. You would think the supermarkets would keep more of it in stock more regularly, but no. They want us to buy the liquid soap instead.

@Thornburywitch @Catfish liquid soap is waaaay more profitable. And worse for the environment. I guess maybe time to see if you can source your preferred brand direct from the manufacturer?

Singing my song. I dislike the pump action dispensers too.
