On June 19, Oatside acknowledged the stock issues faced by its Philippine customers, have been having difficulty securing the product due to reported scarcity in the country.
“We know the struggle is real, and the team is working hard on the restock (we promise!!),” it said on Threads, adding a pleading face emoji.
“In the meantime, let’s help a fellow OATSIDER out — if you’ve spotted OATSIDE in a grocery or supermarket near you lately, comment the store [plus] branch below. #OATSIDESpotted,” the milk brand added.
