Kmart has quietly brought back one of its best-selling items in Australian stores and shoppers can’t believe their luck.
OXX Bodycare Mini Hand Sanitizers, which cost $4, are so popular that they are rarely in stock.
And every time the shelves fill, the product goes viral again, and fans flock to the nearest store to get their hands on one.
The hand sanitizers come in four scents that come in “cheesy” pastel-colored bottles with clips to make them easy to attach to your bag.
The sanitizers are a popular copy of the Power Mist hand sanitizer, which sells for $10.
But the colorful packaging appears to be even more consumer-friendly than the original, which features a sleek white casing.
Kmart’s version features a pink case for the grapefruit-scented sanitizer, pastel orange for peach, mint green for coconut, and red for watermelon.
“I actually think they’re cuter than the original,” Kmart fan miguel jaimie he said after road testing the sprays.
“I actually think they’re cuter than the originals,” Kmart fan Michael Jaimie said after road-testing the sprays.
In his video, Michael said that all four sprays felt moisturizing, although he wasn’t convinced they were completely disinfectant since they didn’t have a high alcohol content.
After trying each scent, she declared grapefruit her favorite, as it was the strongest scent, and also voted the pink packaging the “prettiest.”
Kmart Australia was quick to repost the viral video showing the atomizers back in stock.
But it seemed like it took too long for some customers to get it right and they missed out on the basic purchase.
“I’ve literally been to seven Kmarts in Western Australia and I still can’t find them,” one woman complained.
“They’re sold out everywhere,” shouted another.
A third echoed: “My Kmart is never in stock.”
Kmart’s social media team was quick to respond to comments from disgruntled shoppers.
‘We are very sorry. We’ve seen many popular lines sell out quickly! They will be back soon, thank you for your patience,’ they wrote.
