>I remember when I was growing up in a small city in the CCCP and my mother somehow got somewhere (probably through some connections) a box of cereal, we could not believe our eyes. And it tasted better than black caviar :)
And would you believe I didn't see caviar on shelves for years, neither here nor in the US. Probably went to wrong shops. And then they opened a new one in my 'hood (a Lidl) and they had. Well, not red, only black.
And I had a breakfast of champiosn: bread, lard, caviar.
When I tried to buy it the third time, it was gone. Probably didn't sell fast enough. Poor neighborhood, or country. There's only so much luxury items you can trick people into buying.
