Verify: Get actual sales/volume figures if P&G will share them; interview a P&G supply-chain executive on what specifically went wrong in initial demand forecasting.

Placeholder. P&G's plastic-free, concentrated solid laundry detergent rolled out nationally and sold so far beyond expectations that P&G's own CEO had to publicly announce additional manufacturing capacity mid-rollout — despite costing 50% more than liquid detergent.
