For example, if you insist on buying Advil instead of store brand ibuprofen. I mean, you’d be wasting your money in that example, but you do you

      I haven’t seen a bottle in a grocery store in maybe two years? Your comment made me think maybe I just haven’t looked hard enough, but I just checked my local Walmart delivery and Instacart and neither has Huy Fong Sriracha available anywhere nearby. I’m in Utah, U.S.

          All I hear are excuses. Supply chain schmupply chain. Sourching schmourcing. Have I made my point? Shortage schmortage.

          Sorry for the strong language.

        A local Asian grocery store I frequent recently started stocking it again, so maybe the shortage is improving.

      The owner of the company and the the farmer that exclusively sold to them began to feud. Then came a drought and the variety of pepper they use went off the market. They are recovering now and product is coming out in smaller batches but not at previous volume. It’s still really hard to find.

      I think it’s mostly the US with the issue. I’ve had no problem getting it here in Canada either.
