T is for Toilet Paper

This year for the A-to-Z Challenge, I'll be looking at major events that happened in 2020 [the year we would all like to forget, so let's look at it first, before flushing it down the toilet].

Welcome to T!  We're looking at – TOILET PAPER.

As it turns out, if you're stranded in the comfort of your own home, the first thing on everyone's list is TOILET PAPER!

  1. The unintended consequence of chatting with grocery folk allowed me to supply six other friends with toilet paper and some paper towels during that crisis.

  3. To this day, I still don't get it - why did everyone decide this was the one thing they needed!

    1. It was like everyone forgot that this is a respiratory virus, not gastrointestinal!

  4. For the 2nd lockdown it was flour. This, I understand better! People baked a lot, cooking with kids too.

    1. Flour is MUCH more understandable than toilet paper!

  5. Ah yes, Australia's contribution to the covid pandemic, prompt the world to stockpile toilet paper. We were caught out and had a few harrowing weeks where we had to ration squares. But I now have a 24 pack no-one is allowed to use...just in case!

    1. We now have two cases in our garage. We don't want to have to ration. "Harrowing" doesn't even begin to cover it!

  6. I was amazed that toilet paper was in such short supply. I still occasionally find it hard to get.

    1. With our second wave [or was that the third?] in November, we had trouble finding it again also. Fortunately that only lasted 3-4 weeks.
