USA Today, 2/11/2021
The Great Grape-Nuts Shortage of 2021 is coming to an end earlier than expected.   
For months, Grape-Nuts fans have been struggling to get their favorite cereal as a shortage hit the brand amid the coronavirus pandemic and production issues. Parent company Post Consumer Brands told USA TODAY in late January that the cereal would be back fully on shelves in the spring. 
But Post announced Thursday the cereal will be shipping at full capacity by mid-March.

    Watch and "Scott and Diane" video for yourself.
