Apple juice, WC-paper, Cheerios

By myntkarfan

A short post this time.

I just wanted to mention that some say that we will face a rough winter, with shortage of supplies, soupkitchens, starving kids, etc., etc.

I have so far not stacked my cupboards full of canned foods, as I somehow find it hard to imagine this. That being said I also found it hard to imagine what has already happened.

However, when I went shopping in Bónus on Friday there were some products missing. Before I go any further, Bónus is a part of Baugur Group, actually it is the chain of grocery stores that got Baugur started. For political reasons many of us have systematically tried to boycott Bónus. However, for economical reasons, few of us have suceeded.

And back to the subject: Last Friday the Bónus store I went to was out of apple juice, all but one or two brands of WC-paper and Cheerios. Those of you who are European may not know what Cheerios is, it is a cereal. Those of you who come from the US may not realize how important Cheerios seems to be to Icelanders. There is simply no home without Cheerios…

I wonder if the lack of those 3 key products is the beginning of the dreadful shortage of supplies…?!

Chiao, am off to the Citizen meeting.

    Hagar / Hagkaup should be subject to a boycott.

    There are much better alternatives like Kronan!
