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.

That is why we need to set up systems, to allow workers to buy out companies. They can cause a lot of troubles for owners as well.
