Should food companies be allowed to create artifical scarcity in the marketplace in order to drive up demand?

[Anonymous No.9874058]

It's capitalism, so they can manage their supply and demand however the fuck they want.

A lot of gimmick cereal doesn't sell well if it's on the shelf year-round.
Therefore, the alternative to limited availability might well be cessation of production.

Oh sure, let's centralize the food supply based on state mandate, that will never lead to any problems.

The mayans said "end of the world in 2012".

The physical destruction, no, but definitely social.

And The Office finished in 2013, I also consider that a casualty of a less funny world.

Yes, I'm sure they make the fucking super mario cereal right next to their wahoo bing bong machines, it's not like they licensed that shit out to some gigantic cereal factory somewhere, obviously nintendo are the ones fucking up.

yet hes technically 100% right, isn't he, you hairless baboons ass?

[Anonymous No.9874193]

Sure, they can if they like. With a popular brand name you can use scarcity to drive up demand and price to justify a limited run of a product. Most foods can't really get away with that since you can just buy a competing brand for probably less. If all you wanted was the cereal you could just get lucky charms. If they were out of lucky charms you could get the generic. But put a fancy label on it and you have to get that one specifically.

What's the alternative? The State forcing them to stock so-and-so much? Fuck that.

Also, didn't McDonald's say they would bring back that meme sauce in December? What happened with that?
I was hoping for a second round of laughing either at the millennials because there still wasn't enough or at McD because there was way too much.

is Nintendo actually stooping to not allowing their partners to produce enough fucking cereal to meet demands so it looks better? I thought the NES Classic was bad but this is another level

You know, they may have been on to something. This definitely does not seem like the same world from five years ago.

I work for Kellogg’s. They make a shitload of this stuff. If your store didn’t order it, sorry but sucks to be you. Didn’t know about the scalper thing. I’ll have to look into that.

For bullshit branded induced-nostalgia garbage? Yes, they absolutely should. Let the retards kill each other over cartoon sweet-and-sour sauce and video game sugarbombs.

Necessities like fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy? Well, they'll do it when it suits them anyway, but it's fucked up.

More or less.

My kid's classmate got a 3 day out-of-school suspension for telling another boy to "man up, nancy". 2 hours later, another boy was suspended after a girl told him to man up. his crime was apparently forcing her into the position of having to tell him to man up because he wasn't catering to her by letting her get in in front of him at the lunch line.

shit is crazy, man.

No problem here. It's only when it's a need when I have a problem with it. If you're autistic enough to pay ridiculous amounts for super mario cereal then that's on you. Your personal financial responsibility should be exploited by anyone and everyone if you're that fucking stupid.

nope, that's how it went down. they said the boy had antagonized the girl by denying her request to cut in line too aggressively and she made some comment about manning up and treating girls with respect. my kid said the whole scene was very chill and there was no 'aggression'. I have no reason not to believe him since it wasn't him in trouble.
