Where is all the Caramilk: shortage as it sells out in days.

People are already flogging blocks on eBay again! - by Michelle Connolly
  • 13 Oct 2019

Since it was leaked online that Cadbury Caramilk was coming back to our supermarket shelves shoppers have gone nuts with excitement.

With numerous shoppers unable to find the coveted chocolate there is officially a Caramilk shortage.

Where is all the Caramilk: shortage as it sells out in days.

The last time Caramilk was on our supermarket shelves there was an outright frenzy of shoppers bulk buying blocks.

Some stores even had to place a limit on just how many blocks you could buy, restricting customers to purchasing just two blocks at a time.

 

Woolworths supermarket have Cadbury chocolate blocks on sale this week for just $3, including Caramilk. The demand for Caramilk combined with the hugely reduced price has lead to a Caramilk drought.

“I went to four Woolies stores today and I’m about to try my fifth”, reported one disappointed shopper to New Idea Food.

“Where is all the Caramilk?!?”, they added.

Caramilk fan pages on Facebook are also commenting that they have not seen the chocolate treat on shelves for days.

“It’s just greedy, people are clearly stocking up leaving none for the rest of us”, said one.

“This is absolute bullsh*t, I seen heaps oneBay today, money sucking grubs”, posted another.

Shoppers are right to fear there will be block limits placed in stores soon.

But in a shock twist, Coles supermarket seems to have an abundance of Caramilk, at the regular shelf price of $4.80 a block.
