Earlier this month when news first broke of quarantines in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, folks started flocking to stores to stock on essentials.
One essential in particular flew off shelves in mass quantities, leaving some scratching the heads and unable to wipe their hineys.
Local stores have just started restocking bare toilet paper aisles. Production has been increased to 20% by makers of brand name products in order to meet the increased demand.
But seriously, exactly how much toilet paper do you really need?
A joke which started off between two friends became the basis of a new website: HowMuchTolietPaper.com.
The website has sliders for how many rolls you have, how many trips to the bathroom you take, which then calculates how many days you will last the specified quarantine.
The average visitor to the site will find they have five times more toilet paper than they actually need!
Now if they can just work up a calculator for how many bottles of hand sanitizer folks really need if they plan on being quarantined to their house!
