NATIONWIDE SHORTAGES OF SODA, FLOUR, CANNED SOUP, PASTA, AND RICE

Once again we are seeing shortages. This time its soda. Why? There is a shortage of aluminum for cans. Then there are the individual components for making the soda. Sugar! Last year the sugar beet harvest sucked majorly. Why is there a shortage of aluminum cans? More people are consuming pop at home than ever. We were locked down for two and a half months. In Michigan, bottle rooms where people could return their cans and get a voucher to either cash in or spend in the store. Michigan has a $.10 deposit for cans. That adds up for people. It’s only on pop cans though.

(Yes, I use pop and soda interchangeably.)

Think about all the items we buy in aluminum cans: pop, soup, veggies, fruit, and beans. Also, pan spray is in aluminum cans. This is going to have a huge impact on us as a society. I am suspicious about the coin shortage. However, we have to address it because coins are made with metals. If we can’t get metals for food packing than what is the point of coins if there’s nothing to buy. At this point, we need to ask which is more important, coins or food?

FOOD! Without a doubt, food is more important than having coins.
