One person said: ‘Couldn’t find an M&S mojito can at the service station on the way to Wales today. Sold out. @HackneyAbbott’s impact.
Micha Frazer-Carroll said: ‘M&S mojito tinnes SOLD OUT in Hackney Central today. The constituents have spoken.’
Stocks at Hackney M&S have since been replenished, but other branches including ones on London’s Oxford Street and Victoria Station are still sold out, The Independent reported.
Ms Abbot tweeted that she was ‘sincerely sorry’ after the snap of her was published and widely shared.
A passenger on the train told The Sun: ‘She kept her head down and was staring at her phone but kept slurping from the can. It was 1pm, so a bit early to be drinking — especially in public.’
The shortage in mojitos at the store comes after the supermarket experienced a 24 per cent surge in sales of the product, the BBC reported.
