We run out of chocolate ice cream

[keannu]

Can you say "run out of " for "We're all out of some thing"? I think the present tense is quite awkward for a state of being out of something. I think it's wrong, what do you think?

ex)We're all out of chocolate ice cream
= We ran out of chocolate ice cream(0)
!= We run out of chocolate ice cream(X)

We say "We have run out of..." in the present tense or "We ran out of..." in the past.
