        <![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c16820257" rel="nofollow">humphrmi</a>: You're right, but this also assumes that companies are rational about economics. The fact is that a lot of people ... and businesses ... are not actually rational and have not always worked things out this way in advance. In this case there's no guarantee that Kellogg's management hasn't decided that they might not be able to get away with this tactic, just this once. Even the best people and companies sometimes come to think of themselves as being "the exception to the rule," or to believe they can "game the markets" in ways that usually don't work out.</p>
<p>That said, it doesn't seem probable they'd be doing this. I just don't think it's safe to assume it's an impossibility because Kellogg's management "knows better." They may not in fact "know better."</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c16818692" rel="nofollow">bohemian</a>: I know you were joking, but in reality this can backfire.  There is a concept in Eco called "elasticity", which basically measures how much demand will "stretch" based on pricing and availability.  Creating a synthetic shortage usually never works in the long term... people will find other alternatives, and other businesses will step up to fill demand at a lower price.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Kellogg Plant Flood Triggers Eggo Waffle Shortage (Update1)<br />
Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print | A A A<br />
By Mark Clothier</p>
<p>Nov. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Kellogg Co., the largest U.S. breakfast-cereal maker, said flooding at an Atlanta facility and repairs at a Tennessee factory will cause Eggo waffle shortages through the middle of next year.</p>
<p>The scarcity was triggered by September's floods in the southeastern U.S., which temporarily closed an Atlanta waffle factory, as well as by equipment problems at the company's largest waffle plant, in Rossville, Tennessee, spokeswoman Kris Charles said today in an e-mail.</p>
<p>"We are working around the clock to restore Eggo store inventories to normal levels as quickly as possible," Charles said in the e-mail.</p>
<p>Kellogg said it doesn't expect the shortage to have a "material impact" on earnings. The Battle Creek, Michigan- based company doesn't provide sales figures for specific brands.</p>
<p>The "temporary supply disruption" contributed to the 3 percent sales decline in the North American frozen and specialty channels unit last quarter, Kellogg Chief Executive Officer David Mackay said on an Oct. 29 earnings conference call.</p>]]>
