Is it me, or is there a Diet Coke shortage?

[Monestera]

My nearest corner shop has stopped stocking it. The next nearest has just bottles (but both cans and bottles of full fat). Other shops have had noticeably fewer cans of Diet Coke on their shelves.

Loads in my asda, but no diet pepsi.

no, fat coke shortage here. Loads of diet coke and zero sugar though

Yes. I've noticed it too. Also hate the new skinny cans.

Interesting, I did a Tesco order yesterday and couldn’t order the normal box of cans I get.

I work in a supermarket, last week there was big gaps on the fizzy drinks isle, we completely ran out of lemonade and various colas I think it was a combination of the pingdemic, lorry driver shortage and the hot weather, it's improved this week but we are still having some delivery problems.

From my understanding supermarkets are prioritising deliveries of necessities over things that people can cope without.

Asda online hasn’t had any full fat Dr Pepper for the last 3 or 4 weeks. I normally live on the stuff so I’m not happy!

No fizzy water either - apparently there’s a co2 shortage affecting fizzy drinks!! Not sure of the cause. Nearly bought a soda stream to make my own but I’m presuming it will affect that at some point too!

Our aldi has stacks of boxes of diet and zero. And loads of bottles as well

I feel I should go stock up! 🤔

That doesn’t explain why they aren’t prioritising Diet Coke

My last two deliveries were short on Coke Zero

Yes! Coke Zero ain't the same

Yes, 2 weeks on the trot now Asda have substituted diet coke for the full sugar version on my online order. I wonder why?

Lots of different Pepsi products out of stock for online shopping last night at Asda

See it as a good thing. Fizzy drinks are one of the biggest contributors to poor health.

I despise shops that do not stock cans of pepsi. There's always the crap diet stuff, bottles of Pepsi, or whatever you want of yucky Coca-Cola

I think you're on the wrong thread

Lots of missing things in Sainsburys last night, especially the fizzy aisle.

We buy the red can zero calorie coke now, but they didn't have any.

Tons diet Coke here but no zero vanilla. 🤨

I'd choose Diet Coke over food 😂😭🤤

Vanilla zero isn't a necessity!! 😲 What world are these supermarket managers living in?! 🤷

Yeah, thanks for that

I think you're on the wrong thread Ha!

And I must say, this comment is typical of this country and the discrimination that coke-drinkers experience on a daily basis. I'd like to see someone expect tea-drinkers to forego their hourly cuppa or the coffee-drinkers to view their lattes as a "luxury"

They substituted my order of normal Coca Cola for coke zero today. Sent that right back - yuk! I only have one left in the fridge and I’m wondering how I’m going to cope.
