‘They were all sold out’

One person Tweeted: “Lidl Germany is selling beyond meat this week and in the vegan Facebook group of my city everyone is like ‘Did someone find it?… It was sold out! …Where did you get it?’”

While another said: “I had to go to three different stores, they were all sold out! Keep going, is already a success here!”
