Also the Snapple diet raspberry has disappeared. This is getting old.

There's been no unsweet tea in bigger (2 quart, whatever) sizes here in several months. No Pure Leaf, no Gold Peak, nada.
But I'm not entirely buying the bottle-shortage as an explanation for that either, as new flavors/configurations have rolled out from those same brands.
We're getting to the point where some of the "it's not currently produced in X size" is about efficiency and shedding non-sellers rather than raw materials.
THe other big time shortage here, for several months? Canned cat food (whether in plastic cups or actual cans). Grocery, big box, pet store, all with mostly empty shelf space.
