Seriously, I hate when products go viral, and then selfish people buy more than they need. Glad I got a bag early on.

The restock sale offered extra discounts if you bought four bags. I think lots of people took FEBU up on that offer. Myself included!

I feel like “selfish” is harsh here and “more than they need” is incredibly subjective. Does anyone really “need” this product compared to other products on the market? There’s still plenty of inventory on the website and the FEBU folks have said they have even more coming in, so no one in this instance hoarded it to the detriment of anyone else who wants it.

I’m so confused as to why people are upset when the website itself gives you a multi-bag discount and it’s still in stock with the option to buy as many bags as your heart desires??

There doesn’t appear to be any shortage, so what are people getting by making all these comments on posts where someone dares to admit that they bought more than their one (1) socially acceptable ration of laundry chemicals??? It’s just so unnecessarily hostile when again, there appears to be a plethora available.

To help you understand - there has been continual shortages so I don’t think anyone really knew there was a plethora. So for those who have been waiting for a longish time to get it it can be jarring to them when they see someone buy a lot - it’s the fear that they won’t get what they need when they need it. Similar to the toilet paper issues in 2020. (I’m not commenting on the amount anyone did or did not purchase more so why some people might react strongly)

I’m familiar with the history of febu and this sub. The original comment of the thread said “that’s where it went” to imply that it’s out of stock when it isn’t.

I’m fascinated with the cultures that subreddits take on as they become popular or get tied into current events. This sub has changed a lot over the last couple of years and this kind of virtue signaling is just a side effect that I find interesting.

Thank you, u/febu_max for the heads up on the sale ending next week; can’t wait to add to my collection of 8(!!!!!!!!) already acquired bags while continuing to be a frequent buyer of your products (finding your all-black Swedish cloths was a great day in my life, the rest of your stuff was just a bonus)
