This is the first time I'm noticing a shortage, but then again, I don't drink a lot of iced tea during the winter. I started buying it again in May or June. Didn't notice an issue last summer though.
And the canned cat food thing JIMGA mentioned is weird. We don't buy canned cat food (our cats have to eat a special Rx diet dry food) but we do buy canned dog food, and we haven't seen any issues with supply here.
On the pop front, the only stuff I'm noticing is out is the zero/diet stuff. I thought those were bigger sellers than perhaps they are, so maybe they just aren't willing to produce enough right now and are sticking with regular? Like, I haven't seen A&W Zero Creme Soda in 3-4 months but you can get regular creme soda fairly easy.
Perhaps it's because I live in KY where I'm guessing most people who buy pop drink regular.
