I have not been able to buy some of the parts needed for my designs. However, more importantly, I've not been able to buy my favorite saltine cracker! It has been about two months since I've seen any on the shelves in several stores, including Walmart, Target, Wegmans, Food Lion and Weis. The manufacturer says they are seeing "product shortages" which doesn't say anything really.

Most web sites like this are useless, having been designed by some geeks with minimal training and less supervision. Often features on the web site do not work and links are broken.

I may die without ever having my favorite saltine crackers again, all because of the indifference of baking companies. :(

What they really mean, is that there's less product in each package.

well, Rick, are your cracker specifications "tight"?
unlike your favorite PLL or CPU or FPGA..
I see many "substitute" crackers in stock - their
"specs" seem fairly close to me,
Keebler, Sunshine, Nabisco, etc.

Substitutions must be qualified and so far none have passed testing.

Actually, in the stores where I shop, there are hardly any saltines in stock. Trying a few manufacturers' web pages all seem to report the same shortages as do the various web sites of Walmart, etc. In PR they tend to have Export Soda crackers rather than saltines. I'm headed back this week. We'll see if they have any of those.

It's actually funny that the "contact us" pages don't even bother asking what you want. They just tell you there's a shortage and they are doing everything they can. No explanation for it other than, shortage of material and workers. Why would crackers have more shortages of materials or worker than any other food product?
