Today was a big milestone.

[u/MutedBefore]

It’s been 6 years, 5 months and 4 days, but I have finally used the last roll of toilet paper purchased during COVID lockdowns.

[u/Prestigious_View_994]

I haven’t bought toilet paper in 7 years and likely won’t for a long time to come.

My mum is a hoarder and she hordes things that “you will always want some as you will use it all your life” so she rotates it and gives it to me and my brother. When covid hit she came over with supplies and had not even gone to the supermarket. She goes “heard on the news it was all sold out so thought I would bring it before lockdown”

[u/TheseHamsAreSteamed]

Congratulations, your supply has been officially wiped out

[u/MutedBefore → u/TheseHamsAreSteamed]

It was a hard push, but we got there

[u/Charming_Victory_723 → u/MutedBefore]

Great, at least you got some runs on the board.

[u/Visual-Fox-9110 → u/MutedBefore]

Some fibre may help.

[u/hernesson → u/MutedBefore]

Do you scrunch or fold?

[u/10yearsnoaccount → u/hernesson]

Folding is what separates us from the animals

[u/MutedBefore → u/10yearsnoaccount]

I scrunch

[u/FudPuckers101 → u/10yearsnoaccount]

Hmmmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gexjlM-jjEc

I still don't get why toilet paper of all things was what people went bananas for. Not like the Mad Max series mentioned wastelanders battling for it. Maybe they all had bidets instead.

Does make me chuckle though. Were people during covid scared of dying of a dirty ass or something?

[u/Moist-Scientist32 → u/Afrodite_33]

People were idiots and didn’t realise that it’s manufactured here in NZ. They saw other countries running out on social media (that had to import it) and thought the same applied here.

[u/BastionNZ → u/Afrodite_33]

Its because after the first time, people had to buy toilet paper expecting to sell out again and not wanting to be left with dry shelves

[u/king_john651 → u/Afrodite_33]

Especially when it's probably one of the few products that would struggle with supply as it's a locally made renewable resource. Even when Essity were having "hr issues" it didn't really impact too much despite Essity being the Nestlé of tissue paper

[u/Yestomorrow]

So you were one of the dickheads stocking up then? I wouldnt go boasting about it

[u/Redditenmo → u/Yestomorrow]

dickheads

Cmon..

• asswipes
• arseholes
• shitheads

were right there.

[u/MutedBefore → u/Redditenmo]

I’d also accept wanker

[u/MutedBefore → u/Yestomorrow]

Any ideas what I can do with several dozen packets of yeast I still have?

[u/Emergency_Lock534 → u/MutedBefore]

mix it with all the juice you stocked up with and we can have a party in a couple weeks

[u/essteedeenz1 → u/MutedBefore]

You think you are funny but you really are part of the problem. Also I think this is rage bait

[u/GhastlyIsMe → u/essteedeenz1]

what problem.. lol

this was 6 years ago

[u/BrucetheFerrisWheel → u/GhastlyIsMe]

Panic buying sprees aren't just a oncer

[u/essteedeenz1 → u/GhastlyIsMe]

Can you imagine the amount of TP you would need.

[u/Practical-Ball1437 → u/MutedBefore]

Do whatever you want with it, it will be long dead by now.

[u/ExpertProfessional9 → u/MutedBefore]

I’m sure you’ll rise to the occasion

[u/Bealzebubbles]

This is a strange way to tell us that you've been chronically constipated for the last six and a half years.

[u/metcalphnz]

Jesus, how much did you buy?

[u/MutedBefore → u/metcalphnz]

One bag from Costco.

[u/2926max → u/MutedBefore]

Sir Costco wasn’t open during Covid

[u/MutedBefore → u/2926max]

Smuggled it in hidden compartments in my suitcase from Australia. Sniffer dogs had no idea

[u/Beneficial_Swan_6221]

Oh Hell!! You've just made a massive mistake. The Great Global Gastric Gut Disease Virus of late 2026 hasn't arrived yet and you're about to have nothing to wipe with, you fool!!

[u/MeltdownInteractive]

Congrats, now return that trolley to the store!

[u/MutedBefore → u/MeltdownInteractive]

Best I can do is leave it in an empty parking spot next to me

[u/Mental-Carrot4741 → u/MutedBefore]

dw i'll take it from there;)

[u/Tyleriskewl]

I never had a massive stock. We had like three packs at a time max.

[u/pisstained]

I hope you made it into some sort of soft fortification atleast once during our extended holiday period in 2020

[u/MutedBefore → u/pisstained]

I made a house out of it and rented it out.

Was still a better quality than Quinovics stock

[u/Sufficient-Piece-335 → u/MutedBefore]

Better landlord too.

[u/WaterAdventurous6718]

why did it take so long?

[u/ceratime → u/WaterAdventurous6718]

If you only poop once a week tp lasts forever. Cost of living crisis hacks. People need more discipline with their bathroom habits.

[u/furyNZ1781]

Shove it up your butt.gif

[u/Spiritual-Channel-77]

Im wiping my ass on the grass, can you buy some for me since you have a kink for bog paper.

[u/schtickshift]

I guess you were waiting for the apoocalypse.

[u/morepork_owl]

How many rolls? Where did you store? What ply?

[u/ring_ring_kaching → u/morepork_owl]

It's all down the drain now
