If you thought of serving up homemade ranch water this weekend to keep you company under the scorching sun, think again: the land is suffering from a topo chico shortage, according to the company.
This is bad news for Texans, especially as temperatures in Austin climb into the triple digits over the next few days.
“What’s the big deal?” You may be wondering Finally, we have La Croix, Perrier, San Pellegrino, Spindrift, Bubly, Waterloo and many more. But you would be very wrong.

True seltzer water heads know that Topo Chico satisfies a special need that none of its competitors can fulfill. Made from a limestone spring in Monterrey, Mexico since 1895, the mineral seltzer drink is soft, subtle, and citrus-like without being too strong. Don’t trust me – scientists have their own theories about what makes Topo Chico so damn good.
So why the lack of this popular drink? A spokesman for Topo Chico told the American statesman that they are temporarily short of product due to “extremely strong consumer demand” and “raw materials shortages”.

“We are working hard and implementing contingency plans to keep the products people love on the shelves during this temporary shortage,” added the spokesman.
The spokesman didn’t say what raw materials the company was running out of, but the recent shortage of glass bottles across the country could have something to do with it, as the classic Topo Chico drink comes in a 12-ounce glass bottle.

If so, the company’s larger plastic bottle offerings may be more readily available. For those who want to bypass any cocktail preparation, Topo Chico’s canned hard seltzer can also be fair game. When those options aren’t enough, the spokesman noted that there are 12 packs of 6.5-ounce bottles available for purchase on the company’s website.
A glimmer of hope: anecdotally, some Statesman employees have reported that they still see a lot of Topo Chico on the shelves of their convenience stores.
