You aren’t imagining it, Dr. Pepper is in short supply because of the pandemic . . . and people are really freaking out about it.
The soda maker confirms there is a national shortage and tweeted, quote, "We know it's harder to find Dr. Pepper these days. We're working on it, hang tight."
Why the shortage? Like toilet paper and everything else low on shelves, we’ve been buying a lot more than normal. That throws the production amount out of whack.
Charmin toilet paper responded to Dr. Pepper's tweet with, quote, "Welcome to the club. We feel your pain."
Toilet paper was among the first items to run out. It's back in most stores now but much of the nation is still waiting for disinfecting wipes to return.
