      It’s pretty shelf-stable, and guaranteed to sell. Everyone needs clean clothes

    In every comparative article I've read Tide consistently comes out on top. It also costs quite a lot more than other brands. I guess that make it a more marketable item to steal.

    Detergent is a hot commodity because some bodegas buy them to resell.
