Everyone has shakes (that all taste the same) but on one sells traditional malts. Looks like a marketing opportunity to me.

Thanks, Obama

Dairy Queen still has them. Large chocolate malt has always been my fav.

Freddy's has malts that taste like malts
WHataburger has them but they don't much malt in to them

does anyone really care?

You can buy malt powder at the grocery store.

Sonic still has malts, too. But DQ hs the best ones IMHO.

because shakes are significantly better.

If you mean malt beverages (beer, malt liquor, or even malted milk drinks), it's not that they've vanished-it just depends what you're running into locally. A few likely explanations:
1. Supply hiccups (still happening occasionally)
Breweries and distributors sometimes face ingredient shortages-especially barley malt, which has been affected in recent years by weather issues in major growing regions. When barley harvests are weak, malt production drops and certain beers or malt drinks become harder to find.
2. Distribution gaps where you are
Even in places like the home cities of texags.com readers, availability can vary store to store. Some distributors prioritize higher-demand products (like popular craft beers or seltzers), so "malt-forward" or traditional malt beverages get less shelf space.
3. Changing consumer trends
A lot of shelf space has shifted toward hard seltzers, canned cocktails, and IPAs. Classic malt beverages-especially things like malt liquor or malted milk drinks-just aren't as heavily stocked as they used to be.
4. Seasonal or brand-specific shortages
Some malt drinks are produced in batches or are seasonal. If you're looking for a specific brand, it might simply be between production runs.
5. You might mean something more specific
"Malt" can mean a few different things:

• Malt liquor (like Colt 45, Olde English)
• Malt-based beers (lagers, ales)
• Malted milk powder (for milkshakes)
• Scotch whisky (single malts)

Agreed.

I about fell off when I asked for a malt at baskin Robbin's and they asked what a malt was…. Later did I find out that that one didn't make malts… how can you be an ice cream shop and not sell malts.
