try "hit the shelves", but the in the Soviet Union the proverbial sausage would hit the shelves only once or twice a month, normally by the end of the month, when the shops had to meet their revenue obligations. |
And they wouldn't put it on the shelves, as most shops would sell it over the counter. Sausage was a rare delicatessen then. |
I mean "delicacy". |
Thank you! |
