Where has all the Reach Total Care Floss disappeared to?
No, really. I discovered this floss a few months ago accidentally and loved it, so on my next trip to Target bought two more packets (on sale!). Now that I am almost out, I cannot find it anywhere (after weeks of searching).
It is not at any of 3 Targets, several Walgreens, CVSs, or RiteAids, or grocery stores in the Philadelphia area.
It is not at 4 different Meijers from Traverse City to Saginaw or in any of the Targets in Saginaw/Midland (all in Michigan).
It is out of stock at several (not all, I realize I can still buy it online, don't tell me to go do that) online retailers.
What is the dea? I thought perhaps it had been recalled, but can't find any ready evidence of that. Is it just so popular that it is flying off the shelves everywhere?
I am just so dumbfounded that I am throwing away an askme on this ridiculous question that has been bothering me for weeks.

That's the only kind of floss I like, and it's absurdly hard to find. Even my dentist had to go BEG Walgreens to order it...even though they have the slot for it on the shelf, it's literally never there.
In the end, I ordered a bunch of it from Amazon.

Specifically the purple Listerine kind, or just Reach Total Care in general?

I've had luck in the past with contacting manufacturers with a list of the places I've gone and tried to find their product without success. Try calling Johnson & Johnson at 1-866-732-2482 (they're answering the phones for another half hour today, and will be back on Monday at 8am Eastern.)

Just the Reach Total Care in general. I like the listerine kind, but would be happy with either flavor.
I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessing!

Has anyone tried calling the manufacturer as SMPA suggests? I've had good luck with that route too, in the past for other products.

If it makes you feel any better, you are not the only one.
