Will there be a Light version?

Can envision the commercials now:  "Kills great!"  "Less deadly!"

The product faded away with zero fanfare, unless I missed it.

It did but #1 to gone in 6 months

Just returned from a trip to "town".......Where we buy rice, there were some empty shelves and a limit of 2 (15 lb bags).....but where I buy beer, there was PLENTY of Corona......my usual purchase......in fact, I'm enjoying a 12oz. bottle as I type this....

   I'm still surprised at what I saw people buying/hoarding. I saw a guy buying boxes of cheerios and when I looked at one on the shelf, the expiration date is July. I just don't get it. If I was going to stock up, it would be with things that I am going to use anyway, and not so much that I wouldn't be able to use them before they expire. 

 

  I noticed hand sanitizer and masks were sold out at Walmart and stuff like ibuprofen was running low. I did find a box of 20 masks in the hall closet at home. I have no idea how long ago I bought them (or why), but I think it was from when we were painting about 5 years ago and we never used them. I'm not sure if I need them or not now, but I was happy to find them just in case.

Much like chips (tortilla, potato, etc.), Cheerios do not expire.  You simply pour them out onto a cookie sheet, pop them into an over at 150~175° for 30 minutes, and they are fresh again.  *pro tip!

   I know you can do that, but why? IDK, maybe the guy eats lots of Cheerios so I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I just buy a couple of extra of non perishable items that we already use.

 

  My wife already warned me not to go overboard and don't buy more than the pantry will hold. I guess I buy extra anyway when things are on sale so we usually have enough on hand. I'm not against being prepared.  I just don't see why people are stocking up on things they may end up throwing away.  I imagine there are a lot of people who haven't thought about it until now.

Why are people stocking up on water? I mean, it's not like our water supplies are going to be contaminated or shut off.

Why?

 

Great snack food

Great to feed to squirrels, rats, and various other household pets

Heart healthy

With all that Corona on the shelves, it makes a great late-night drunk snack (only use Corona, not Corona light in your cheerios!)

Popping out of fever-delirium to say that when I talked about this with the doctor today, she thought it was because if people are afraid of being quarantined for the 14 day period and unable to go out of their homes that they need water depending on where you live and that she'd heard some crazy people convinced that the 'germs' were going to be in the water supply. In the rural area I live with terrible water ratings I haven't drank tap water in about 19 years, so a lot of people here get bottles.

 

I had better luck at the club store I belong to. While people were panic buying there, they had plenty of HUGE bottles of tylenol, cold/flu meds etc.

That makes more sense. I live in an area with safe drinking water running through our pipes. All I do is filter it for taste purposes. I have zero idea why people here are panic buying water.

Ok, had to look back a bit to find it (from last year), but this might be why there are so many boxes of Cheerios on the shelves?

  I know why you would do that, but I meant why buy so many boxes of Cheerios that you would need to do that?  Even if I was stocking up, I would go for a little variety.

I was just yanking your chain, buddy.  No Cheerios, expired or otherwise, in this household.  I keep my glyphosate in bottles in the shed.
