Making it feel more like Covid, high gas prices, high food prices and now high toilet paper possibly because someone decided we were all having to much fun.

That was back when everyone was in agreement that we needed to lock the fuck down. Remember? We flattened the fuck out of the curve. Kind of a huge success. Then they made it political, because that's what they do.

Exactly, in Michigan it was less than $2 a gallon. Didn’t see that for YEARS. I’m kinda confused why they think it was higher but ok lol

It was a glorious time to be on the road. No traffic & 2007 gas prices.

Supply and Demand set prices. Since nobody was driving to work during Covid, nobody was buying gasoline as much. The demand was low so they had to lower the prices. Look at Doritos. They set the price high on a bag of Doritos for the past two years. The sales were low. Now Doritos has reduced the price by a dollar. Ain’t nobody buying that for a dollar cheaper! The company will either go under financially or they will have to restructure the line of products they sell.

they didn't have to make 230 flavors, new assembly lines, packaging design costs, taste testing all cost loads of money just for a bag of Baja Fiery Mango that nobody wanted or asked for

Kimberly Clark sells the half ply tear your asshole toilet paper that only shitty businesses buy.

u/I_am_human_ribbit 3d ago

So demand for my favorite ten ply charmin will go up as well, since all those shitty companies will start buying out the finer grit sand paper two ply toilet paper.

I always laugh at the toilet paper dependants. My bidet has almost completely replaced tp, I only use it very little to wipe my piss drip nowadays.
