Another day, another shortage. But this time it's not necessarily because of the recession - it's because of some messed up olives!

Yup, there is bacteria present in Italy and now Olive Oil is at risk. 

According to The Shaderoom, "an olive tree-killing bacteria in Italy has affected about 50% of all olive oil manufactured in Italy in the last five years."

As of late, there have also been tampon, chili pepper, and formula shortages.
