[quote name='Nintendonly']Went to Your Favorite Retailer looking for cereal, and then came across a whole shelf of these with no English on them.
And yes, I bought one.[/QUOTE]
What kind of shelf? An end cap? One of the shelves in the bargain aisle? A free-standing display shelf? Or were they in a regular aisle?
A lot of times grocery distributors get deals on product from a manufacturer for one reason or another. They'll offer to sell it in bulk to a retailer who then allocates (read forces the store to take it) it to stores in the chain. Each individual store then sells them as a limited time special but then the item never comes back in stock. I'm guessing that's what this was.
