    Just received this reply from Williams. The soap may still have a chance for survival

    Now I have to decide if this makes me happy, sad, or indifferent and I really don't want to think today. I'll think about it tomorrow, after all tomorrow is another day.

    One of the most inane, yet profound, clichés ever.

    True, it's right up there with "it is what it is". I always want to reply, "is it"?

    Indeed it is. Except when it isn't.

    So I called the company. They said there is no intention of discontinuing the soap but from lack of turnover and sales many retailers have decided to drop the brand.

    Seems ShopRite still has the dozen and a half pucks they had 2-1/2 weeks ago.

    I told you fools so. It's a marketing ploy.

    You gotta love the internet. This will make for a great story to tell the grandkids one day. "Grandpa, tell us again about the Really Willy soap scare of 2015"

    It's a ploy dude. I told you guys this before in a different thread and I was right.

    I think it was a way for them to get everyone to freak out and stock up.

    Ok just to update. I called customer service. They said that Williams is still being produced and will be through 2015. There are no plans to discontinue it. She did mention that many accounts have stopped carrying the soap because of struggling sales and low turnover.

    Looks like as ofnow Williams is here to stay
