Has Pepsi abandoned Plainfield?

Shelves at Supremo have high-sugar Pepsi, totally out of diet. What gives?

Plainfield Today readers should know that in soda pop, as in computers, there are basically two religious options.

In computers, one is either a Mac or Windows devotee (unless you're a total geek and do Linux).

In soda pop, it's Pepsi or Coke -- well maybe, if you're from the South, we can include that prune-based beverage, Dr. Pepper.

I'm a Pepsi fan, Diet, not the full-sugar variety.

For some strange reason, there seem to have been no deliveries by Pepsi to either Twin City or Supremo for weeks. On Saturday afternoon, I snagged the last two 2-liter bottles at Supremo (see photo above).

All Pepsi's other brands, plus the high-sugar version have considerable stock on the shelves. But not the diet versions. Is there a message for Pepsi here?

And with a bottling plant just down New Brunswick Avenue in Piscataway, it's not a schlep. So, what's going on?

Pepsi lovers want to know.
