I know! Ridiculous!
It’s not even known to cause any bowel issues AFAIK.
I’d be less surprised if it was tissues.
I live near a supermarket and last night it was packed, presumably following the news reports telling people to stock up.
It was just like all the people who race to the supermarket on Christmas Eve to make sure they’ve got everything they might need while the shop is shut on Christmas Day!

I think it would be pretty hard to tell if an Aldi store had been “ransacked”.

I had a little chuckle to myself when I saw an Asian guy wearing a surgical mask wheeling a trolley full of toilet paper to his car at a shopping centre today. I buy one four pack of three ply, double length store brand a month. I’ve come home and read all these reports of people hoarding toilet paper and I suddenly have the urge to fill the spare room to the ceiling with the stuff.

I buy the triple length so I don’t have to change the roll as much.
4ply Toilet paper is the best.

Do the people who are currently bulk buying toilet paper, canned/dry food and other goods seriously think the current Coronavirus crisis will become so bad that the supermarkets won’t even be able to receive deliveries to their warehouses (let alone their stores) for weeks/months?

Not surprisingly Woolworths has imposed a limit on toilet paper purchases to prevent panic buying.

We need a radio station to run a competition where the winner receives weekly free home delivery of toilet paper and pasta for the next year.
It’s the $1M Paper and Pasta giveaway.
P.S. If the winner is from Sydney’s inner west the pasta will be wholegrain.

Nobody will enter the competition if it’s wholegrain. That was the only pasta left on the shelves last night.

But the Federal Government told people not to panic. 
Will this deter the stockpilers?

While I’m only joking with that quote at the time of posting, it wouldn’t overly surprise me if something among these lines actually becomes a legitimate news story within the next week or so!

This is all absolutely ridiculous. I’m worried for the future with the way people are carrying on, not the bloody virus.

I’m not sure they meant what CT have said here:
Toilet paper manufacturers have sought to assure customers a shortage of supplies.

Bathurst is out. This virus has been totally blown out of proportion, the media mostly to blame.
