As mass shootings have become commonplace in American schools, Walmart has changed its stance on gun offerings. In 2019, Walmart announced that it would no longer sell "short-barrel rifle ammunition," along with handgun ammunition.

Walmart isn't selling Odwalla—because no one is selling Odwalla. Coca-Cola discontinued the beverage line this summer.
