disinfectants, wipes, cat litter, salad dressing and cleaners:
One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong, can you tell which one of these things is not like the others...
Cat litter because everything else is used to make things wet.
Cleaners because everything else contains the letter “i”.
Wipes, because it's the only non food item.

SALAD DRESSING?! Are you Americans going to a restaurant and ask the waiter to bring you a salad with clorox?
Okay, how do you expect to get ranch dressing white? Ranches are dirty.
when dressing for a ranch I usually put on worn-out jeans, a leather vest and a wide-brimmed hat, not sure why these things should be white
I mean, trump was crazy to suggest injecting bleach, but maybe eating it on a side salad helps with covid?
(please don't try this)
If you listen closely, you can hear a Facebook group using your post as research.
Hidden Valley Ranch is owned by Clorox.
OK so let's get that straight, a chemical cleaning company owns a ranch in some secret valley where they produce salad dressing and no one suspects anything. the US is weird. (\s because irony doesn't always work on Lemmy)
:) I love it. Makes total sense to this American lol
Clorox owns Hidden Valley Ranch brand of salad dressings. They also own Burt's Bees cosmetics. I'm unsure which cat litter they own. They also own Kingsford charcoal.
Source: I'm a retail merchandiser who has done several jobs for Clorox the past several months and I've had to run around the store from one department to another for various audits.
I hope they're not making the salad dressing in the same factory as the one making bleach.
Eh there's plenty of other nasty stuff in food factories, machines are usually cleaned by pumping caustic soda and nitric acid solutions... ammonia cooling systems...
Why do you think Ranch is as white as it is?!
It's marketed as a self-cleaning production facility.
Another shortage of bleach you say? I guess we get to double the price again.
Companies will say anything to raise prices.
At least they should be good at wiping their servers clean.
Like with a cloth or something?
Why can’t cyberattacks be directed towards things along the lines of hacktivism?
Yeah, where's the Project Mayhem shit of blowing up all the banks to reset everyone to $0 in wealth and debt?
It was Ted Clorox
You mean Todd?
Todd Clorox is attacking the factories with 5G signals from his spaceship, granted to him by the lizard overlords. Here is a crude rendering of said event:
8=====D~~~~~ <- those are the 5G signals.
Todd. Stupid Google Keyboard autocorrect, sponsored by lizard people.
Damn, Todd Clorox got access the spaceships now? Nowhere is safe.
How will I stay hydrated now?! pepehands /s
Not my beloved bleach!! It's my favorite cleaner.
Did you know that it feels slippery due to saponification? It's using your own body oils!
It smells good, it tastes good, AND it makes its own soap. It really is a miracle product.
Big pharma hard at work
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Clorox says it’s experiencing product shortages nationwide across its categories following last month’s attack on its information-technology systems, and the company projects a “material” impact on its quarterly results.
The producer of disinfectants, wipes, cat litter, salad dressing and cleaners said some of its US factories still aren’t making goods, although the “vast majority” have resumed output.
For now, the company is manually processing orders at some facilities — a task that is usually automated — as it restarts operations.
“It is premature for us to determine longer-term impact, including fiscal year outlook, given the ongoing recovery.”
The company’s factories have remained open despite halting production and employees continue to be paid.
Prior to the attack, the company was trying to rebuild supply in areas including cat litter, which saw demand boom during the pandemic.
