New York CNN —Toilet paper shortages in stores across America are giving folks nightmarish reminders of the pandemic era.
But the lack of toilet paper isn’t a direct result of a major port strike Tuesday.
Reports of shortages filled social media Tuesday, showing empty shelves where toilet paper and, to a lesser extent, paper towels were supposed to be.
The overwhelming majority — more than 90% by some estimates — of US toilet paper consumption comes from domestic factories.
Any toilet paper hoarded today will last until the next round of panic buying, even it happens years from now.
