Who ever would’ve guessed we’d find ourselves here?
It’s March 2020 and here we are, standing at Woolies, confused and horrified by the empty toilet paper aisle.
We just wanted to pick up a 12 pack, because we’re down to our last roll… and yet… toilet paper has become the rarest of commodities on supermarket shelves in modern day Australia.
(To be clear, there’s not a shortage. It’s just that people are hoarding it, for reasons that remain unclear).
When you finally get your hands on some… make sure you hang your toilet paper the correct way. Post continues below video.
This also creates another issue: If we do buy a 12 pack, we risk looking look like a panic buyer. And we’re not.
We just need… a normal amount of toilet paper, to replace our previous normal amount of toilet paper.
It’s a terrible struggle.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After days of the public panic-buying toilet paper, Australian factories are operating 24 hours a day to keep up with demand, online delivery services are out of stock and supermarkets are having to post ‘MORE IS COMING, DON’T PANIC’ signs where rolls upon rolls of Quilton and Kleenex used to sit.
