hi There
Have you been able to get Rice Krispies in your area ?
We haven’t had them on shelves since last summer
Thanks for sharing

Actually, no I have not been able to find them. I thought it was just the grocery store where I shop but given that you are asking they must be hard to find these days. Crazy!
