Why can't I find Wheaties in the stores?

I checked. There’s a shortage.

???
Really? I thought my store just failed to order.

How can there be a Wheaties shortage? They forgot to order supplies?

The trucking and processing costs have jumped way up.

Clearly Obama’s fault.

Or Lying Hillary

People are now cutting back on wheat products as our body does not require that much in a day.

The Russians are responsible.

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a Wheatie.

Thanks for the info. I really miss my Wheaties.

Sales have apparently fallen steadily since we entered the twenty first.
My guess is they would rather send out full trucks less often, than half filled trucks every week.

My store still has them. But the stock does look low. I don’t know what the shelf life is, so I hesitated to buy some for later. At my house we like them but don’t go through them very fast.

I’d miss them if they went away.

I found some Wheaties finally! Hoping there is no weed killer in it.

Wheaties posted a notice on fb. They have resumed supplying stores, and apologized for the inconvenience.

I never thought to look for a Wheaties page on Facebook. Thanks for the update!
