But the company made the airwaves for an entirely different reason earlier this year when gunmen held up a watchman and stole a 40-foot container loaded with $3.8-million worth of ADA soap powder from a garage on Spanish Town Road in Kingston. Two men currently face charges for allegedly being involved in the crime.

Tide has become a hot commodity among thieves at supermarkets and drugstores in at least some parts of the US. For a variety of reasons, the detergent in the familiar flame-orange bottle is well-suited for resale on the black market, reported the Associated Press recently.

One Safeway supermarket in Prince George's County, Maryland, was losing thousands of dollars' worth of Tide a week before police made more than two dozen arrests. In West St Paul, Minnesota, a man pleaded guilty to stealing more than US$6,000 worth of the soap from a Walmart and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. Police in Newport News, Virginia, and other cities around the country have reported a spike in thefts.
