Have to disagree Bill! No one is using more TP or eating more than they were before the Virus!

Sure they are, they are using the bathroom in their home instead of elsewhere. And they are eating more at home instead of out. That is why restaurants are throwing good food away and people at home can't get any. :(

Maybe the manufactures of Face Masks & hand sanitizer are seeing a rise in sales?

That plus bleach, disposable gloves, paper towels, soap, Lysol, beef, eggs, etc.

Small to medium sized business run the economy! Even the worst Hit will rise from the ashes & live another day after this is over :) Into every ones life a little rain must fall!

I wish, many here already said that they are finished and there is no hope of ever opening up again. This is the new normal around here. Even most of the smaller vape shops across the US are already gone. :(

Thats statistically imposable! Unless they are going to the bathroom more often? They would be using the exact same amount!

They are at home 24/7 Steamer861. Normally they would be only at home to sleep, shower, and eat occasionally. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs due to many small and middle sized companies are out of business. :(

    I sub contract for developers who build new houses & their scrambling to get as many new houses built as quickly as posable rite now
    Due the lockdown, the number of swimming pools allotted for Ontario (~3500 for this season) have all been sold. Fence and deck building is up. We had to wait two weeks for 2x6's, 6x6's, and 6 foot fence boards. Add an extra week for lattice. And that's from Lowes and Home Depot.

    Ya, people spend more time at home & see the flaws in their homes. I think thats whats driving all the sales here? Plus obviously the historically low interest rates! At present rates if you can afford a down payment, it's cheaper to own than rent!
    Bill if you're using your T/P or some else's it's all the same! the same amount is used/Sold at the end of the day, regardless of who's buying it! In fact sales mite even be down a bit cause people mite be rationing t/P a bit :) Especially if it's not readily available :)

    Could be or being stuck at home it is time for that long overdue home improvement. ;)

    Not me, I've used the same as I always have. But I am retired. But some might have overstocked TP, but home TP use is no doubt up overall. And I am not sure about Canada, but supply chains are different here. Look at the food chain for example. In the US, resturants, schools, businesses, etc. use a different distribution system than home use. That is why restaurants could buy anything they wanted while home use could not. Same for TP and so many other things.

    Home consumption of TP went up because people are no longer using the TP at work. They still use the same amount of TP per day but the 8 hours a day they worked now comes out of the home stash instead of their employers stash. So for someone who got laid off or is working from home, their home consumption went up about 24%. Store shelves ran out of "home" sized rolls, but their was a glut of industrial size rolls.

    All this talk about TP reminded me of back when I started Elementary school. Here we have all these young kids and they dispense something that resembles little squares of glossy paper. Maybe they thought that we would use too much of the regular stuff and clog the toilet or take it home or something. It was a real challenge to get the job done.

    Not much interests me enough to buy it but I'm probably going to order one of these atomizer in a few days.

    There's a link to it in the next post.

    Do you have a hussar? The deck & the chamber are an exact replica of it :)
    Only real negative with the hussar is the Plastic tank! It's a lot like the Skyline vape wise, good airflow & flavour :) Surprisingly leak proof also :)
