The 2022 Great Cream Cheese Shortage

[Torvy]

We were short cream cheese around new years, but I have found it since then.

Fresca has been hit and miss since 2020.

For some reason in the last week it seemed all dairy was low, but not out.

Maybe I will have to add a couple of Holstiens to our plans!... not really, too much work.

Yeah, I have seen that off and on for the last few months too. A few weeks ago, there was quite a bit of products out of stock. This week everything was in stock.

Years ago, one of the problems we had with our local store was lack of employees. The manager just would not hire people to save on expense. Since the pandemic, the store is crawling with employees, which is a good thing. Sometimes, I would wonder if the out of stock products were sitting in the back, but with as many employees they have stocking shelves, I don't think things are sitting in back for long.

I guess the problem is making the products and getting them to the store.

Looks kinda pricey. I haven’t seen on grocery shelves in years either.

How about this one? I loved this grapefruit soda pop as a kid.

While still in high school I worked for a custom farmer. We used to drink this ice cold in the summer. It was great stuff And had a grapefruit flavor.

Moxie was unobtainium for quite a while, but I've noticed it's back in stores now. Even was a story on the news a couple weeks ago saying that Coke was making it again.

I remember that from when I was a kid. If I'm not mistaken, there was a totally different soda (more of a cola) out in the 80s also called Wink. Wasn't around long.

Since we have gone from cream cheese to acidic sugar water.....

I do remember Wink, Moxie and Fresca. There was a guy when I was in college who would show up for an early class with a Big Gulp of Jolt cola. Not sure how he could drink that stuff....

As a kid, we had a field trip to the HQ of Fanta sodas. I do like Fanta. The owner of the company was a big game hunter and there were all of these large, stuffed animals he had killed. I was more interested in the animals than the production line and free soda.

Don't really drink soda's anymore. Too sweet.

I do not like chocolate milk, but I can enjoy a chocolate shake. Strange but true.

Next time you have a chocolate shake, if the have it, have them add marshmallow to it.
I think you'll like it. I have one at DQ occasionally.

Different folks have different tastes Moss. I like sponge bread with peanut butter and sliced nanners too and anchovies on my pizza.

OMG, my father used to eat bread with peanut butter, bananas and mayo on top.
I gagged every time he did it.

My dad does the peanut butter, nanners as 5030 says, and mayo sandwich. The mayo is the disgusting part. I like a PB and nanners sandwich, though I will put honey in the mix. Mayo? No way and I like mayo.
