At least the pants that you already have don't vanish in front of your eyes. I mean, imagine if Google bought a pants company...

Unless you are North American and talking about trousers then "Pantaloonacy"? -
@evacide buy all remaining stock you can find on Thredup and eBay? Wait that’s not one word
@irene I have a whole set of searches on a bunch of resale platforms for my favorite discontinued things. I even have searches for stuff I know my friends and family like or are looking for.

@evacide Much easier in German: Lieblingshosenabkündigungswut.
@janschiefer @evacide not fair. Germans have a word for everything.

@evacide And it wouldn’t be quite as bad if companies were required by law to disclose their discontinuations months beforehand. Then at least you could stock up.

The same experience 50 years ago. They stopped making my favourite candy bar. Apparently too many liked it.
Forever Yours.

@evacide Shoes. They get worse every year, so I regret not buying in bulk when I find a winner.

Ooof I know what you mean... got to the point that I take a certain pair of trousers I bought years ago to a tailor and get him the fabric to make me a pair from time to time, copying said pants every time because the 'certain brand' I used to buy from decided it was too much of a hassle to keep making BigandTall sizes. Fuck them I have them tailor made now.

@evacide Switch to German and coin a word like Hosenwut (for being really, really angry about pants) That's shorter than Schadenfreude.
