With the implementation of distribution quotas, people streamed to stock up at the TTWMB's 127 outlets and distribution centers. Most were only allowed two bottles at a single purchase, although women giving birth that month were allowed up to 20 bottles each. However, with each outlet allowed an allocation sufficient for only 100 customers per day, many were sold out within fifteen minutes of opening.
配銷制度實施之後，民眾紛紛到公賣局的一百二十七個門市和配銷處搶購，雖然除產婦可購買二十瓶外，一般人一次限買二瓶，但是由於各門市每日配銷一百人次，因此往往開始銷售的十幾分鐘之內即被搶購一空。
