Just back from a run to the family cabin at Lake Tahoe. Score! There was a bottle of Woody's - with the original painted bottle - hidden in the locked closet!

I notice that the Woody's website is still inactive, and none of the stores at LT have it in stock. Reno to Tahoe isn't that far of a run, is it?

One would figure that someone that paid money for the brand and recipe would be anxious to promote it.....

For MrMog: If you read back, the lead issue in the Woody's labeling was handled some time ago, and the newer replacements had white print on clear plastic labels - so the lead problem was solved, well before Reily Foods discontinued the product. Therefore, lead was NOT the reason the product was discontinued. I believe the original explination - "It wasn't selling like it used to". With a zero advertising budget for the last 50 years - who could have possibly seen THAT coming?

The newer labels no longer showed the presence of Tamarinds or Anchovy. It introduced corn syrup for the first time, and a much less presence of sugar.

My theory is that the Tamarinds and Anchovy were replaced by "Flavors" from a chemical plant, which is a popular thing for food makers to do these days.

One other thing I noticed is that the printing on the bottles. The new "sticker" labels have about 15% SMALLER type than the painted ones. It's almost like they wanted LESS attention on store shelves.
