Where's The Skippy?

Today a post from the "not all that interesting department." Unless you're me.

For about a year now, Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter's been all but impossible to get in Austin. It began with spotty availability in my grocery store, to the point where if I saw it I bought a few jars whether I needed it or not. When they stopped carrying it, I found it in a couple of local dollar stores. Last week, it disappeared completely, and I'm left with Amazon Grocery for my "fix." Walmarts, Targets, all have been searched locally, none carry it.

This all started way before the Samonella in the peanut butter scare, and of course Skippy's not even the brand associated with the recall. So I'm left to wonder why it's so scarce. Did they discontinue it? Texas production plant sucked into a wormhole? What's the deal?
