I know this isn’t a “New Coke” story, where consumers rise up to demand a product that has been discontinued be returned, but I was curious what the story was behind the shortage I’ve noticed for #PepsiCO 's #Sodastream #DietCola mix.
I’ve been looking for weeks now & as of July 21, 2023 it’s not available online in Sodastream’s store, #Amazon, #Target or #Walmart.

When I spot the elusive #SodaStream #dietcola syrup at Kohls.

@dangillmor One good thing about #Twitter was big brands had accounts. If you had a big following & complained about their product or service & they'd respond.
Right now I can't find any #Sodastream #Dietcola online. Their own website is out, as is #Amazon & #Target. I'm thinking this is because of a marketing deal with #Pepsi.
Twitter is no longer Brand safe.
But #Facebook #Instagram #Threads is.
So I'll complain on #Threads & tag consumer goods reporters to see if I get a response.

Right now I can't buy the #Sodastream brand of diet cola online. Even their own website is sold out. #Amazon & #Target are out.
The Walmart online limit is 2.
I got a few locally in SF at #Staples via #Instacart, but the limit was 3.
Their #DietCola syrup formulation is the best #caffine delivery system for me. It doesn't make me jittery or angry & DOESN'T have aspartame.
Are they trying to boost local sales? I'm thinking the shortage is based on a sales deal with #Pepsi. Anyone know?
