I editorialized the article title, and I realize the article is a year old. But I only just found out about this buy out yesterday.
I have been using Wild’s refillable deodorant for over 2 years. It has been great not throwing away a huge chunk of plastic, and instead tossing a small bit of cardboard into the compost. But now they are part of a mega corp.
I got my wife and daughter switched over recently, and my wife has been using their chapstick too.
My daughter found Fussy as an alternative. I saw a video showing that Fussy’s refills fit into Wild’s cases.
I will be making the switch as soon as I run out of my current stock of Wild refills.
Yeah unless you are already at least independently secure it take an insane moral backbone to not take ‘go the fuck away money’ and then fuck right off saying goodbye to this bullshit. As others said, its part of why the system is so insidiously resilient
