First, websites suffered the "/. effect". Now one select manufacterer each year experiences the "FIRST effect".
Yeah, I imagine that companies have to be a bit skeptical about people really wanting a ton of POOF balls all of the sudden, so they would rather let them go on backorder than make a ton, and be unable to sell them.

Anybody think to buy POOF stocks? Profits this quarter will be huge!

P.S. I already checked, and they are not a publicly traded company, so no luck there
