Wal-Mart is so large that it tells its vendors what price it will pay. The vendor then has the choice to lower its prices or to pull its products. Also, Wal-Mart is very strict about logistics and any deviation costs the vendor dearly. Supply chain/production may have caused Maruchan to pull their products from Wal-Mart.

This is exactly how some government's forcing negotiated and capped drug prices has ruined the pharmaceutical market, causing jacked up insulin prices.

Capped drug prices will cause shortages, too.

Yes, but all standard Ramen brands are absent from all retailers in my area, as they have been for 3 years now, from the first day of panic buying of the plandemic.

If you're really in a pinch they do have cardboard boxes and vegetable oil you can make your own homemade ramen

I always have preferred Nissin brand Top Ramen, the original. Mari Han is a shit teir knock off, but besides all that, I don’t eat this goyslop and haven’t for years.

Starch gets a bad rep, but it's actually really good at regulating blood sugar levels.

It looks like they sell it.. any chance they moved it to another aisle and you just don't see it?

No. Please reread the above title. Many brands have disappeared for 3 years now from all retail outlets. They have been replaced with brands that taste life raw flour. Also missing is the brand "Top Ramen".

Because The King of the Potato-People won't let them.

Holy fuck, is it just you and I who have noticed this? I can't get my spicy beef anymore, now not even beef I spice up myself. The bouillon powder in the cups had been tasting much weaker, I wonder if they're having a hard time getting bouillon cost effectively for cheap ass ramen.

I've noticed some food shortages, as well, already.

I can guess the answer but did you bother asking your local store this question

[–]Questionable[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

You think retail employees know anything about this? Have you ever even spoken to a real manger before?

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Are you aware there are people higher than managers who make purchasing decisions on a per-store basis?

[–]Questionable[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Are you aware that you asked me to Questions people BELOW that level, who have no clue at all?
