...and it's not a gun.

It's the good old inexpensive iced-tea mix we've been using for 60 years or so...



Ebay has a bottle for $59.00.... .... https://www.ebay.com/itm/277073830090

I know the feeling, Doc. There's a Costco store in town, about 30 miles away. I have shopped there for years. After I get used to items that I use nearly every day, suddenly they're gone from the shelves. A brand of pickles, a certain type of turkey breakfast sausage, store brand decaf coffee and the list goes on. I've always had the feeling thet Costco doesn't respond to inflation, they drive it. Additionally, they change the locations of popular items every week so that customers have to go searching for them, presumably to increase impulse purchases. I'll continue to shop there although I'm aggravated by their business policies.

French's sweet onion mustard, gone. IMR 4320 , gone . Winchester 680, gone . Just a very short list of the many things I am missing.

I'm sorry... Pearl Milling Co syrup ain't quite as good as Aunt Jemima's was... and why is gasoline without the added ethanol more expensive?

Why is diesel more expensive than gasoline when it is supposedly processed to a lesser degree than gas?

LOL I don't do FaceBook or InstaGram, so I'll just have to wait and see if/when it appears at the grocery again.

Hmmm , I wonder if your iced tea was coming from a communist country Doc?
Yes diesel is easier to crack, what's worse is this country runs on diesel. Pretty good reason why things are more expensive.
680 is gone but you can still get 1680 which is a direct replacement.

Because of acid rain and the added cost of removing the sulfur from diesel.

Instant tea….gross

Supply and demand. Diesel contains more energy per gallon, and the engines extract a greater percentage of that as useful work. One can pay more per gallon and still come out ahead. Also, it's the fuel of choice in many counties for cars. As I recall, the US is an importer of gasoline and an exporter of diesel.

Or maybe the oil industry knows it has the trucking industry by the short hairs because the truckers have no choice.

Baco flavored crackers and "snuggles" shaped hot dog buns. I miss them both!
