Price difference is insane
I was looking to buy a new bottle, as my daughter uses these daily right now and really?? $26.49 for 18 more than the $12.99 42 count? The math doesn’t make sense. More than double for only 18 more. It’s just plain wrong. I know, how weird to complain about a poop product, but I’ll be buying somewhere else.
