What product shortages are you seeing?

I'm interested in seeing if things are different in different
parts of the country...
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have not been able to
locate Mt. Dew Code Red in 16.9 oz bottles. I think this is
gone forever.
My son is still not able to get a graphics card for a PC he is
building.
The PS5 came out last November for sale online only, bots have
been buying them before I can even click to buy. Frustrating.
Lately, we have not been able to get Minute Maid Apple juice in
the little 6 packs. Toilet paper stock is looking low again.
Bully Sticks - I could only get them at Costco, and in the past
6 months, they have been out of stock a couple of times.
Anyone else seeing shortages?

Certain produce is off-and-on. My wife reports that the shelves
were a bit thin at the grocer's yesterday. She's been unable to
find caffeine free diet dr pepper for over a year now.

Steaks are well over double what they used to be here, but
available if you're willing to pay. I'd be curious about whether
the availability of that and some other groceries is because so
many people are just deciding not to buy. All types of fish are
either much more expensive or not available.
We typically ate mostly vegetarian, but with prices the way
they've been we cut out the occasional meat purchase entirely
for months now.

Amazon fresh has been out of coke zero in the bottles on and off
for months now. Even walked into a real store here, and they
were out.
Used car supply is low, new car supply is lower.

I used to buy Lidl's brand non-fat plain greek yogurt. But a
worker told me recently after I hadnt seen any in several weeks
that they just couldnt get it anymore.
So I'll have to see if Safeway carries a similar off-brand
product. But if not, I aint paying ca $6 for name brand yogurt.
It's interesting - and frustrating - to see some products just
disappearing.

Yeah, don't get in a wreck! Insurance will try to pay you Blue
Book value, and that's not enough to get you back in to
something comparable.

Work shortages are a HUGE issue here. I work tangential to the
commercial construction industry, and some basic items are
months out, some are 'we have it ordered but can't tell you when
or if it will be available from the plant'
I've never seen anything like it. There are some projects
stalled over necessary items that will hopefully be available in
the first couple quarters of 2022

I wonder if someone is thinking about retooling an old factory
to produce some of the shortages we are waiting on overseas?

Certain items are intermittently unavailable at my grocery
store. My favorite brand of peanut butter has been unavailable
for a few months (it is not packaged in glass, so it isn't about
that). Other things are mostly pantry items that I can usually
substitute (preferred brand or size may be unavailable for
months). This sort of thing happens occasionally in rural areas
anyway, but the time it takes for those items to reappear has
increased considerably. The USPS is steadily getting worse here
as well. The time it takes to get most packages has expanded by
several days and many packages are never getting here at all.
Plus, there are a lot of thefts - broad daylight catalytic
converter thefts happening in busy parking lots and such.

That Dr Pepper (CFDDP) was discontinued. I kept hoping it was
being re-tooled.
Just paid $65 for a case of Nature’s Path cereal that normally
is $42.
