Unraveling America’s TP Tizzy
UNRAVELING AMERICA’S TP TIZZY
According to the Los Angeles Times, Americans use less than half a roll of toilet paper a week on average. So, why the sudden grab for TP? As of this writing in March, toilet paper is still being manufactured in factories worldwide at rates that will comfortably meet our demand, and there is no need to hoard. Still, as nerves continue to be on edge across the U.S., shelves are emptying. The thing is that unlike products like hand sanitizer and cleaning products, which are seeing an actual increase in use due to the virus, we aren’t going to see an increase in use of toilet paper. Unless people suddenly find themselves desperately compelled to make mummy costumes, use will remain the same. Even if stores still constantly run out of toilet paper like they are right now, manufacturers will continue to
produce new rolls of toilet paper at the same rate, and the toilet paper will keep coming.
Toilet paper manufacturers are unlikely to increase supply, as the global spike in demand for paper products is likely to be temporary. After this thing blows over, depending on how quickly you reacted to news of the spreading virus and how strong your hoarding urge was,
chances are high that families across America aren’t going to need to buy paper products for a long, long time.
The next time you go to the store in search of yet another roll of TP to add to your collection, take a tip from your dentist: Check out the floss aisle instead. If your store is anything like ours, dental floss has seen exactly no increase in demand!
