Toilet paper actually makes some sense. If you live in a house with a family that was mostly out of the house during the day 5 days a week,
and they are suddenly in the house all day during that time (because offices and schools were all closed) toilet paper is a commodity that
will go up in demand in that particular house.

The supply-chain was the issue in early 2020. When you think about it,
the need for home goods increased tremendously and corporate/office
goods decreased by a similar amount.

When no one could get paper towels or toilet paper, my local grocery
store started selling fan-fold paper towels that go into office
bathroom paper towel dispensers, and corporate supply-branded single
rolls of toilet paper - items that were sitting around because janitors
weren't cleaning offices any more.
