What Happened To Odor Eaters?

Dear Dr. Scholls and Combe, Inc.:

This is almost as depressing as when Johnson & Johnson replaced the ultra-cool little red thread on Band-Aids [tm] with a tacky little plastic strip.

You're breaking my heart. I wear tennis shoes 98% of the time, and Odor Eaters [tm] and Odor Destroyers [tm] were an important accessory. But I can't find them anymore.

Dr. Scholl's web site is pathetic. Yeah, you do have Odor Destroyer Insoles listed somewhere, buried deep among the flossy gel insoles, and other products. Combe, Inc.'s website at least pays lip service to the coolness of Odor Eaters. But, I can't find or buy your products anymore. I guess stinkfoot is just not worth bothering with in the 21st century!

You both claim Odor Eaters and Destroyers exist...but no stores carry them anymore. All most stores seem to carry are those silly gel insoles and a bunch of ozone whackin' sprays. The insoles now appear to be virtually extinct.

You'd think there would be more demand for your products than ever--I mean, you are required to remove your shoes off in some people's houses. But whew!!! It is easier to go out and buy methamphetamines on the street than it is to find the formerly ubiquitous Odor Eaters.

Dudes! There must be millions of people like me out there, willing to part with four bucks for these products. Get with the program!

Yours,
