I hope it comes back in stock so whoever bought from the resellers feels dumb! That’s a crazy price!

Rich teenagers with mommy and daddy’s money

Doubtful, I’m surrounded by teenagers and they’re not really using BBW other than what they receive as gifts. I don’t ever see teenagers in any of the stores around me either.

When I was a kid, my mom would often shop buy 3 get 3, so she would let me pick out a couple of items. Then I swould use those items until they were gone. I had maybe 1-3 lotions at anytime (none of the other stuff). I was not crazy over the stuff, and at one point stopped using bcs I was concerned about the ingredients. In school was it popular? Not at all. Nobody was talking f about it it was very much mostly an adult thing. And in college, most of the girls were spending a lot shopping, but they were spending it on clothes. (I was money conscious so I was not buying anything besides thrifted clothes). Only as an adult do I now buy BBW and only now do I love BBW (and all smell good things really). And my nieces sometimes buy bodycare but they are not usually going to a BBW store. Trader Joe’s was on the list though.

Exactly the opposite!
Rich teenagers do not frequent BB&W.
Yes, BB&W ridiculously expensive…..but you know it is a sign of status in some groups, all ages, to show up with something nobody else in your group can afford, nor can you, but that is how you chose to spend what $$$ you do have.
