“”We picked things that often appear very obscure, such as ketchup or pallets and yet are staples of modern life.””
Can’t recall when I needed that “staple of modern life” - pallet! Just strange to list that as consumers arelooking for real staples of modern life - not what they’re shipped on.
I went to the store on Friday (Publix) guess it’s ok to name the establishment - and the first aisle I see when I enter the store is the energy drink aisle - Gatorade etc. It was nearly empty. I thought, “this is going to be a fun trip.”
I didn’t see another empty aisle in my entire time shopping - cereal, milk, eggs, bread, butter, ICE CREAM, TP - I got everything on my list even the six pack of bottled water that wasn’t there on previous shopping trips - house brand. I got 4 packs as long as there was plenty...
Don’t know if this is more scare tactics on the part of the media but it wouldn’t make sense if that was true - no benefit to anyone...so perhaps the shortages are still down the road. I’m a recent widow so my list isn’t very long but as long as ice cream and fresh veggies are stocked, I can make do.
There is not one product in your Supermarket, other than locally-produced meat & Bakery, that is not shipped on a pallet. You
