HW95J Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Is this related to the Co2 shortage or was that resolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Haven't noticed them short of those particular brands but seem bare of their own brand fizzy drinks. (Sainsburys and Tesco) Seems like slimline Schweppes lemonade is all that's out there in bottles. I have also noticed them short of many other things too, particularly bread. Wasn't sure if the other shortages were more related to me going shopping at a different day/time of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 As 39TDS says - Tesco own brand are in short supply but Pepsi Max in the 24's seem easy to get - couple of Supermarkets doing them for £6/24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I went to bookers warehouse on Monday and there's crates of it there so I don't think there's a shortage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 More likely the carbonated drinks suppliers are trying to negotiate a fair price for the goods, but the greedy supermarkets are looking to cut supply costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 There are some brands that I can't get from the wholesaler. Tango orange and Sprite are the main ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Start a rumour of a shortage and the stock just flies off the shelf, even if they don't want it people buy five and hoard it. twenty years ago somebody started a fake story about a toilet paper shortage because of a strike or fire at a factory, whatever. The shops were emptied in hours. Edited August 1, 2018 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
