As I recall, this same rumor went around about 2 years ago.  I bought the
tubs I needed, alas to discover that they had not really been discontinued!

Perhaps it is true this time, perhaps not.

Stock up now... that's what I've been doing.  They're still widely
available.  In a year or so people will probably pay good money for
the unopened 3033 tubs, though I doubt any of us can hold out long
enough to wait for that.

Is there any rumor about what if anything will replace the 3033 tubs?
