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

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.

Yes there was no multipacks in the coop the other day, I did have a bit of a panic. I had to buy 4 single cans.
God I love Diet Coke. That first sip from a cool (but not super cold) can is everything!

Yes. Sainsburys tried to substitute it with diet Pepsi today.... I sent it back. Maybe I'll finally crack that diet coke addiction.

There's plenty of Diet Coke and Pepsi Max in my part of Lancashire. Get yourselves here!! I've been in Tesco and Morrison's today and both had plenty stock.

In all seriousness if you've got an Iceland or a Food Warehouse have a look there, they had 3 x 24 can packs for £20 last week (and they do home delivery via their website.....)

Other countries have had heatwave, pandemic and no shortages. It's another wonderful brexit benefit.

Take back can-trol!

We usually get Lidl's cola but there's definitely been a shortage of that. Also orange squash for the kids has been non-existent for weeks. I bought 3 bottles when I saw it in Asda the other day.

To be fair, I love people who beat their diet coke addiction, leaves more available to feed mine.
My local Tesco only has the lime or strawberry...
Fortunately my local shop is seemingly commited to supporting my needs in these difficult times!

Strawberry diet coke is a crime!!
However actual diet come is a necessity as far as I'm concerned. I grudgingly put up with Pepsi in pubs sometimes but I dont want to buy it in quantity!

Ha I beat it ... last year so much so that the taste of it became gross to me .

Then suddenly one day I just fancied one with ice, from a glass bottle with ice and lemon - reminiscent of those enjoyed on holidays in happier times 😂😂😂

I drink caffeine free Diet Coke cans and haven’t been able to get them anywhere!
