The Great Tonic Shortage of '09

What the hell is going on around here, the great tonic draught of '09? When I was picking up a few necessities at the Meijer last night, I bought 6 bottles of tonic. There was 3 dozen left on the shelf. We went back today to get the real grocery shopping done and when I walked past the tonic shelf? You guessed it, absolutely none to be found except a single six-pack of the tiny glass bottles you see used at fancy cash bars.

Why the sudden run on tonic?!
