      The fucking hilarious bit is that the great majority of TP is produced in the US, from Canadian trees. It was never in any danger of shortages.

      I was eating dinner with my folks and my mom related a story to me that after she had lunch with one of her friends, the friend when to 2 Costcos in the area. Not a pack of PT, TP, nor bottled water anywhere. Naturally I went to Target after because I was legit looking for other items and low and behold, shelves almost fully stocked with both. No limits. Cottonelle had BOGO 10% off, Charmin got a $10 gift card when you by x$ worth.

      People are fucking panicky

      I somehow missed that people were hoarding tp again. Imagine my surprise yesterday when I went to buy some and found nearly the entire aisle bare. Luckily there was plenty of the store brand, so I guess people were panick buying but not panicked enough to consider a different brand.
