Irish Spring responds to Georgia store pulling soap from shelves
Dill's Food City removed all the Irish Spring soap from its shelves ahead of Georgia's Saturday game against the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
It didn’t go unnoticed by the soap company.
Friday morning, Irish Spring responded on Twitter to have some good, clean fun.
"Hey @universityofga - Heard you were out of stock in Athens, GA. We're sending a little luck your way. Hoping for a good, clean game tomorrow! #NDvsUGA

The Royston store, less than an hour from Athens, made headlines this week when it posted a photos on its Facebook page showing the soap being removed from shelves and a “temporarily out of stock” sign in its place.

You would think that would get Bulldogs fans in a lather, but many responses were postive, giving Irish Spring its props.
