Whats with the run on TP?

[cstreit]

Okay - I understand food, water, ammo, gas..

...but why the run in TP?

[RSBob]

Uh.. because if people self isolate for multiple weeks or months and don’t shop, they might run out? Just going out on a limb.

Just like with cloth diapers, adults can use rags and place them in the washing machine. So you are right, it doesn’t make sense but then a good half of the population doesn’t make logical decisions (this goes for Democrats, Republicans and Independents).

Plenty of asswipe in my local CVS this weekend. Good luck buying Clorox wipes or aloe or rubbing alcohol or anything else related, though.

Just for laughs, I'm telling all my friends to walk into CVS and ask where the hand sanitizer is, just to see that teenaged eye roll.

Some people won’t shake hands because of corona virus.
I’m not shaking hands because I don’t know who has run out of tp 😜

We've had a run on TP for about 3 weeks.
Not sure how long yours has been.

Stupid... People have been fighting in the stores

[pmax]

Why is the market dropping ?


Buy enough before the rioting begin.

[JackDidley]

Someone on the internet (forums) said panic and do stupid stuff, so people panic and do stupid stuff. Remember the Y2k thing. My sister made her husband fill the garage with water and canned food.

New or used?

When you are scared, you ****, a lot!!

[craigster59]

Home Depot had a bunch of TP while Costco, Walmart and Target were sold out.

[pmax]

You're gonna need lots of TP after eating canned foods for 2 weeks and that's assuming you don't get the virus.

I understand the more people in a household, the more of everything is used. But (butt?) I use about a roll a week, and I think I use a lot of toilet paper. So even with a number of people in a household, it shouldn't take that many to make it through the crisis.

[Rawknees'Turbo]

I've heard that pNutz uses two rolls, the supersized ones, per squat!!!

[cabmandone]

I have a contingency plan for when the TP runs out. I've been hoarding old T shirts for just such an event!

[p911dad]

I read something about a Strategic Toilet Paper Reserve, the gov't maybe grabbing it all and storing in a big secret (of course) warehouse in the Mojave..
