Last year, when people were buying up stuff, and by "stuff" I mean toilet paper, Clorox Wipes, hand sanitizer, there was a run on bottled water, too.
I can understand it, too. Humans start to amass supplies whenever they're in short supply or whenever people feel like something will be in short supply.
A year and a half has passed...
It's déjã vu all over again.
At least for water.
The other items mentioned above seem to be well stocked at every grocery store we've frequented, but water seems to still be a limited buy. This weekend we've had to go to several stores to re-stock. While we've been out, we've been looking for distilled water. Couldn't find it anywhere. One store offered an explanation--it wasn't the water that was in short supply, but the plastic.
Interesting.
I hadn't thought about that aspect of the situation before.
Again, it makes sense, having things in short supply.
I'm sure if I did some basic research I could find out what's behind the plastic shortage. Actually, without plastic millions if not billions of people die...simple as that. Right now, we can't survive without it--maybe in the future, but not right now.
We finally found some, but we were limited in how many we could buy. Hopefully, in time we'll see gallons and gallons back on the shelves. Time will tell.
