To think I can cope with the lack of loo roll but leave the Pepsi Max!

It’s completely sold out round here! Sainsburys shelves are empty.

I thought I was the only one addicted 🙈

I'm hoping I'll be forced to go cold turkey but am absolutely dreading it (yes yes I know it is poison/carcinogenic/loo cleaner, but it tastes soooooo good!).

Forfoxsake29 · 16/03/2020 17:59

I tried giving it up for lent. Lasted a week and was SO thirsty. Nothing helped 😩

I hear you OP.

When the iron Bru runs out, that is when I will officially lose my shit.

MissMoogle · 16/03/2020 18:15

Please keep your muggy paws off the raspberry and cherry Pepsi max (lighthearted) oh and the irn bru and the mint penguins. I can cope with anything if I have those

Forfoxsake29 · 16/03/2020 18:18

The raspberry one is horrid, you can have that one lol.

Dh thought Coke Zero cherry would cut it, it wasn’t the same at all 😩

Major supply chains holding back deliveries of alcohol and soft drinks (excluding water) to try to recover on shelf availability of cleaning, pasta, loo roll etc.

Hopefully for just a week or so if people stop stock piling

Loads in Iceland here this morning

TheCanyon · 16/03/2020 18:43

No irn bru in our town, dh bought me some coke and holy fuck the sugar is so bloody good.

I was a bit concerned about the shop running out of our favourite wine but dh has just pointed out his work will have to shut, so no pay, so no wine...

Itstheprinciple · 16/03/2020 18:54

We have an 8 pack for DH in our garage as part of our prep. Sorry!

sideorderofchips · 16/03/2020 18:57

Raspberry one is all mine!!

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 16/03/2020 19:00

Tesco had it for €1 for 2 litres. I have more Pepsi than I'm willing to admit to. I'm very happy about that Grin

Louiselouie0890 · 16/03/2020 19:09

I thought irn bru was being discontinued

Disquieted1 · 16/03/2020 19:10

You clean your arse with Pepsi max. Wow!

BorisTheBellend · 16/03/2020 19:13

DP keeps bringing me in extra Coke Zero but my teenage shits keep drinking it all. I will have to keep it in the car now I think.

The4ks · 16/03/2020 19:41

Oh yeah same!
Can't live without my diet coke!

SecretMillionaire · 16/03/2020 19:45

The raspberry one is the best although I’ll have cherry if there’s none left.

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 16/03/2020 19:46

Loads in my Tesco but no yorkshire tea... not even decaf.

Fev11 · 16/03/2020 19:47

Good for cleaning loos :/

vodkaredbullgirl · 16/03/2020 19:50

NOOOOooo dont say that, dont know what i would do.

Unbridled · 16/03/2020 20:06

Pepsi Max was the only coke type drink our supermarket had left! Oh and some caffeine free Diet Coke..

allyouneedis · 16/03/2020 20:29

I’m having to fight my urge to buy 20 bottles of Irn Bru extra. But Pepsi max is my next favourite so fingers crossed people leave it alone. It’s water you need to stockpile people not fizzy juice!

DrManhattan · 16/03/2020 21:17

Come on everyone! This is our time to quit the evil (but delicious) fizz

vodkaredbullgirl · 16/03/2020 21:18

Like hell i will Dr lol

Fluffybutter · 16/03/2020 21:18

Maybe people are using it as toilet cleaner .. it’s gross

JaceLancs · 16/03/2020 21:21

Just stay off stockpiling my gin
