In 2020, at the height of the COVID lockdowns there was a severe Metamucil shortage. I even did a post about it (below).

Luckily, store brands were still available — though there were times when it was kind of hit or miss.

By the Fall of 2020 the Metamucil shortage appeared to be over — though prices had gone up, appreciably.

Over the last couple of months I have noticed that the Metamucil store brands have disappeared off the shelves. But, there is a supply of Metamucil — at all time high prices. It would appear that one way or another Metamucil has won — at least for now. We just have to pay the higher prices.
