Japan tries to head off toilet paper panic amid Iran war fears
Japan tries to head off toilet paper panic amid Iran war fears
LOL.. just send this to all your friends that'll keep them away from the toilet paperThis is probably the reason. From AI:
Japan is significantly affected by the current 2026 oil crisis due to its heavy reliance on imported energy. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted supplies of over 90% of Japan's crude oil, prompting the government to release national oil reserves, implement fuel subsidies, and prepare for potential economic strain.
But let's face is, no matter what type of crisis a nation is facing, people always stock up on toilet paper.![]()
The same in Germany in 2020 during Covid. The Germans hoarded toilet paper, the French people condoms and red wine. Must be "German angst"But let's face it, no matter what type of crisis a nation is facing, people always stock up on toilet paper.![]()
