Research notes

The page explicitly claims the 1oz/30g tin 'is only available to our Wholesale Club,' yet the brand's own live product catalog page lists a 2-pack ($34.99) and a 4.2oz tin ($49.95) of the same product with normal 'Add to Cart' buttons for direct-to-consumer purchase -- so the wholesale-only restriction appears specific to the single 1oz tin SKU rather than the whole product line.
