Ran into a Family Dollar a few hours ago for light bulbs. Grabbed some wheat thins and noticed they were stocked w Fritos. Chili cheese, scoops you name it. Wondering if the comment by a FL employee was true that due to best buy dates, the older bags are pulled from normal stores and resold to the bargain places.

This is right up there with the god damn sour cream shortage. Govt is asking people to refrain from making cheese cakes this Christmas.

Route salesman at Albertsons told me that the supply chain had something to do with the shortage but the main problem was at the production end, i.e. they are not making as many bags of scoops.But then he added that with the shortage, people are buying multiple multiple bags at a time & a normal delivery is sold in a few hrs. Yesterday I saw a lady buy 9 bags of the regular sized chips /bags....no party-sized bags available. Find out when the delivery trucks show up & be there waiting


Jesus Christ, is this the world we live in now?

Cowboy: "Listen, babe. Yeah, my pecker is 3 inches. But I'm packing a 12 inch bag of Fritos!"

Babe: "Enough talk, cowboy! Let's go upstairs and tear into those Fritos!"

What I have learned from this thread is that the reason there is a Frito shortage is because of

- The government
- Corn being diverted for ethanol production
- Workers on strike because they refuse to get vaccine
- There was a fire at a Frito plant
- Frito is focusing on their more popular products.




I'll repost my question..

So which one is it?

If you find out, also ask why Rold Gold pretzels aren't anywhere to be found? Did they stop making them?

The FL people in this thread are correct. Also they are struggling to find workers in production facilities along with facing transportation challenges.
