    Somebody keeps buying all the cans of diced tomatoes. I presume they are making ginormous amounts of chili and spaghetti?

    Nothing, really.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Have you tried to buy ammo lately, or do you do your own reloading? A lot of ppl have been saying it's getting scarce too, probably from hoarding.

    I can't find the Tyson air fry chicken lately. They probably stopped special products just like soda companies did for awhile. Through much of May and June, I couldn't find the cane sugar Pepsi. Culver's, my fave fast-food chain has been consistently out of the yummy fried pork tenderloin lately.

    by the way, a friend in the bottling industry has mentioned they are having trouble getting aluminum cans because of the ban on recycling.........

    I have seen reports that there is a massive aluminum can shortage because the manufacturers could not ramp up enough as people started staying home. Manufacturers are thus only making their most popular brands. I got the idea that this problem will not be getting better.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
