A couple of days ago we saw on the news a tragedy of major proportions: a tractor-trailer truck loaded with (gasp!) yogurt overturned in a ditch outside Vancouver. The snow we never have, but for some reason have a overwhelmingly huge amount of this year, is to blame. The driver wasn't hurt, and no other vehicle got damaged, but the loss of yogurt to Vancouverites is a frightful thought for many people.
Will there be panic in the stores as people search empty shelves for the milky delight?
If people hear a rumour of a store that has a stock of yogurt, will the store be overrun with hungry granola munchers who need the silky liquid to mix with the grains to create a complete meal?
Will people just stop getting up in the morning because their breakfast food is just not there for them? Will they skip the morning yoga classes? Will the sushi bars have to extend hours so "last call" is pushed back for people to drown their yogurt-losses in sushi?
The answer is of course not.
In Vancouver we have developed a huge network of sources of yogurt. When one source of supply is interrupted another one can be used to cover the deficit. This is something we take very seriously here.
Silly.
