The Great Loo Roll Panic Buying Spree of 2020 was one of the more bizarre aspects of living through a global pandemic. Those who rushed out and bought up all the toilet roll they could find created a bit of an, errr, situation for those of us who hadn't managed to stock up on essentials for a while.
As Jamie Lee Curtis can attest, getting hold of any toilet rolls was basically like striking gold. Speaking to James Corden, Curtis described how she usually keeps a very well-stocked household, but she was supposed to leave and go make a movie in Canada for three months when the pandemic was declared. "So now I'm at home with my husband and the one thing I hadn't checked was if we had enough toilet paper," she said. When she discovered a local market that was allowing customers to buy two packs of TP at a time, she couldn't believe her luck.
"I'm a really calm person and I'm really good in an emergency but that undid me," she said.
The TP struggle is real, my friend.
