From toilet paper to coffee, here are some of the products that could soon be in short supply because of the Suez Canal blockage
Mar 26, 2021

The Suez Canal jam could cause shortages of
toilet paper, coffee, furniture, and other imported goods.

Depending on how long it takes to move a hulking 224,000-ton freighter called the Ever Given — said to be bigger than the Empire State Building — that ran aground on Tuesday, shoppers could see a shortage of numerous items.

It will affect "basically anything you see in the stores," Lars Jensen, an independent container-shipping expert based in Denmark, told NBC News.

Fake news. Around 90% of American toilet paper is made in America.

And almost everything coming from Asia to the USA comes across the Pacific, not through the Suez Canal

The trouble with that, is that there are a lot of gullible people in the world. And clearly, a lot who read this forum and will believe any cockamamie thing they read, simply because someone they like, or hold in high regard, posted it.

Even if it's from an OBVIOUS parody site like The Onion, people will believe it. Because a lot of people are not very clever, or bright, or cognizant, or observant. And even those of us who are might not pay much attention to a thread title and instead, refer to the content of the post. Which - in this case - is fake news provided by a supposedly reliable source.

So who wants to buy a few thousand rolls of TP?

OMG, really - that comment is so worthy of a wtf?

Did YOU do any research before coming up with that? "cockamamie'? Why do some folks here simply HAVE TO react with thinking a bit... It's as simple as googling the topic. Why do you think I inserted that "corporate Marketing" in the title. Because THEY always seem to trigger sales etc. I ONLY reported FACTS as they were reported. In many many sources - here's THREE major sources. OMG...gullible. have an aspirin and go to bed OBL.

Just another thoughtless thread to get the sheeple among us into panic mode, again.

Update.
Evidently it is the stern that is free and not the bow as the earlier report I read stated. It should allow other ships to pass shortly. World supply of TP will shortly be on the move for all future movements.

Carry on dumping in confidence!
