I’ve seen comments that there is a shortage of materials to make cans. They are probably only making the most popular varieties right now. I think it will be back. You can keep tabs on the inventories at Walmart, target, dollar general thru their websites. My dollar general says limited availability. Be sure to check the dates on any you find. Make you can find out where you can get it in your area by calling the 800#

I don’t drink soda, but isn’t Coke Zero a diet and caffeine free soda?

rather, the Zero refers to the sugar content. It is not caffeine free.

They make caffeine free varieties of Coke, Coke Zero, and Diet Coke.

That's interesting about the cans. Kroger is always out of Fresca.

Probably due to the aluminum can shortage. I read an article that said some of the brewing companies are prioritizing their most popular products to try to meet the demand there. Likely the same thing for the soda companies.

I drink caffeine free Sam's cola. Supply has been spotty for 3-4 months. Had to buy caffeine free diet Pepsi one time, the 2 liter plastic bottles another. Then scored 2 twelve packs and, last two trips, none in the store.

I have one twelve pack of Sam's diet w/ caffeine but I need to quit caffeine around noon-2pm. And I don't usually want a soda until late afternoon.

Supposed reason for the shortage is because of increased demand for product in aluminum cans because of the pandemic. More product being consumed in the home and preference for cans because the cases stack better & require less room than glass/ plastic bottles.

My Walmart app says they have it.

Budweiser is advertising red, white and blue special cans. That may account for an aluminum shortage. BUT not my diet, caffeine free Coke!!! Please.....

I'm on the lookout for caffeine free diet Dr. Pepper.

It's hard to believe there is a shortage of aluminum. Apparently the price of aluminum is so low that no one is interested in collecting cans for selling for scrap.

Walmart.com also shows CF Diet Dr. Pepper.

I still find caffeine free diet Coke in the 2 liter bottles.

Someone was asking about a shortage of CF Diet Coke here awhile back. At the time I had no trouble finding it. However, it's nowhere now, including the 2 liter bottles.

From what I understand, it's a shortage of aluminum cans, not the raw material. The can-makers can keep up.

ETA: The can-makers can NOT keep up--is what I meant to type!

Here in Michigan we do return bottles and cans for 10 cents each. But every store I go to does not have Diet CF coke. I have one 6 pack of bottles in the garage and am drinking my last can of it. Diet Vernors is in the fridge now. I do like Vernors, thankfully. I have so much trouble sleeping I avoid caffeine like the plague!

My sister in Montana who drinks Diet Vernors says she can’t find it by her!

BTW, I donate all my returnables to the local Boy Scouts. They use the money for the boys going for their Eagle Scout!

My Walmart app shows my local store has it in plastic bottles but not cans.

I looked when I was in the Jewel today, and nope, no CFDC in cans, only in bottles. Same with caffeine free diet Dr Pepper (I didn’t even know they HAD CF diet!) but they had plenty of other Coke products in cans. Including my new favorite, the adorable 6-oz can.

I just bought some. A can full of chemicals but i like a Diet Coke once in awhile. I have the Caffeine Free if it’s late afternoon or evening.

I got it at my local Acme grocery store. It’s cans in one of those long boxes.

I will miss my "can full of chemicals!"

Have you tried bubbly mineral water, especially the ones with light fruit flavors? They're very good and can help you avoid drinking "cans full of chemicals".

I think I've seen reports, maybe you have too, that even diet soda drinks aren't particularly good for one's health and are best avoided.

But sometimes a little can of chemicals, or as I call the CFDC, fizzy brown water, is just what you need.

I don't care for the flavored waters, I like it plain. These days it's Pellegrino.

Drinking Diet Vernors tonight!

I don't like to drink anything that comes in a can (beer, soft drinks, etc.). Actually, I very rarely drink any soft drinks anyway, but when I do, and it's in a can, I think it tastes (negatively) different. Either it does or I've somehow convinced myself that it does. Doesn't matter ..... I'd rather a bottle.

I don't drink much pop anymore but have some around for company. I love Vernors and it is always a staple in case of flu, etc. in the winter. For my ginger ale fix these days, I drink Zevia Ginger Ale.

Coke almost lost its shirt when it discontinued Dietcoke lime. The replacements were awful and did not sell. Stores here quit wasting shelf time, IDK if caffeine free is around here, diet coke is my caffeine hit at mid day!

Just noticed that hubster scored two twelve packs of caffeine free diet Sam's cola yesterday. He said there were 3 twelve packs on the shelf & he bought two of them. I drink about 5 sodas a week so I'm good for awhile. Still have a few in the fridge from the last time we found it.

Diet drinks are worse for you then the real thing.

Diet drinks are it for us diabetics unfortunately.

Plenty of CF Diet Coke on the shelves at Price Chopper in the capital region of NY state!! :-)

So they sent all the CFDC to New York. DRAT!

Elmer, next time I’m at the store I will buy a bottle or 2 of fizzy water.

Give it a chance, I think you'll grow to like it. It's certainly better for you than any kind of soda. I rarely if ever drink soda anymore.

(I don't know how anyone can drink any of the diet versions of soda. The ones I've had have all seemed to taste so off, as if they were so old that the flavor had turned, like spoiled wine does)

WOW! $38.25 for two 12 packs! I miss it but I’m not crazy!

That's about $1.50 per can. You'd pay more than that in a restaurant or casual food place for one drink.

Try switching to diet caffeine free Pepsi until your favorite Coke product becomes available again. I know, Pepsi and Coke Cola have decisively different tastes, but possibly, its a solution you could live with until your favorite product re-appears.

CFDP is also missing from the shelves of the stores here!

My local Target has CFDCoke in stock.

Caffeine free? Sugar free? I believe that's called seltzer. Mix in a little bit of fruit juice or lemonade, and you'll have a delicious drink that's real food. But make sure it's seltzer and not club soda, or it will have sodium and other crap added.

I’m 2 hours from a Target.

My DSIL in Virginia sent me a pic of CFDC at her Target. Said she could send me some with one of her sisters when she goes down to visit. Told her no, we may not see family for Thanksgiving. My DD and her family are in Michigan this weekend at one of my sons homes. We talked about going there, but would have to stay in hotel. Not crazy about that. Also, DD is a doctor and she worries about giving it to us. Plus she has 2 teenagers that aren’t as cautious as she would like.

I'm doing fine without my CFDC. I drink one Diet Vernors a day and the rest of the time water. About once a week I go to McDonald's and get a large unsweet ice tea. Can only handle the overload of caffeine once a week!
