Typically this Fels-Naptha is $0.97 or $1.07 per bar but it is sold out basically in my entite state (NY). People are reselling it online for nearly $7 per 5oz bar. What the fuck is going on, did they discontinue or something?

A quick web search reveals that Fels-Naptha is a good cure for Poison Ivy. Also, its parent company is Henkel, a company based out of Germany. Maybe Henkel is having production issues.
I thought I remembered a Henkel factory catching fire last year.
I'm thinking a production slowdown due to energy issues.
When I was at summer day camp as a kid, it was recommended that we scrub from head to toe with Fels Naptha from head to toe because there was always a lot of poison oak in the area. Probably the last time I used it.
I have noticed all soap has gotten very expensive. I usually buy the six bar package that lasts several months. Close to double the price.
Apparently they removed the ingredient that did this due to "cancer risk". Not sure when but it was before it became Purex.
