Americans are coronavirus panic-buying spiral hams and oatmilk

  • One person is vegan, another isn’t.
  • Someone is lactose intolerant but not vegetarian
  • Someone who isn’t vegetarian just wanted to try oat milk
  • Oat milk lasts longer than other milks, so it’s better for single people who don’t drink much milk
  • See above, but better for hoarders :face_with_raised_eyebrow: as is spiral ham

Also keep in mind that Easter is nine days earlier than it was last year, and people don’t really cook spiral ham when it isn’t Christmas or Easter, and that oat milk is way more popular now than it was last year.

All the bodegas around here are still fully stocked.

Bagged beans and rice, assuming I still had access to clean water. Anything in a can, and most things in a jar, regardless.

I ventured out the other day, and those were the exact meat options I had available. I got chicken thighs and a pound of Beyond Meat.

Weird juxtaposition there.

But yes, the toilet paper shortage is well documented, and since everybody’s using Zoom because of this crisis, everybody needs webcams now.
