So now that LOST is over, it doesn’t seem like fans are the only ones upset – turns out Bernie Coleman, who runs a foam-making company called Pacific Allied Products, Ltd on Oahu, is losing a lot of business now that LOST doesn’t need any more foam used to make sets.
Turns out ABC’s LOST paid $450,000 for 1.2 million feet of foam to make the lava rocks, the Black Rock ship marooned on the island, and more. LOST needed so much foam that it actually caused a spike in resin imports to Hawaii!
Bernie had this to say about LOST:
It was crazy. ["Lost"] suddenly became our second-biggest client. We hate to see them go.
We would too if they were paying us that much money!
The foam business isn’t the only one affected by LOST’s series finale – turns out LOST had sparked an economic boom on the island, offering full-time jobs to 800 locals and 1,200 suppliers.
Maybe another show will start filming there?
