Loading ...I really think that Hawaii started this toilet paper rush nationwide. As I have posted here before, back in the 70’s there were shipping strikes that stopped container loads of supplies to Hawaii. Toilet paper ran out in the islands for a month or two. Since then, any possible shipping disruption here and people run out and buy toilet paper here to stock up. I believe the first report I read this year was back in January when local social media reported the big box stores here were running out of TP at the first hint of coronavirus scare possibly impacting shipping to the islands. Those faceplant posts were picked up by YAHOO news and posted online. Shortly after that… the toilet paper panic spread nationwide. Thus are the fruits of ‘digital mob rule’. We are so sorry, America. Aloha from Hawaii.
