In the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak, #ToiletPaperEmergency or the great #ToiletPaperApocalypse, as it has been dubbed on Twitter, has started affecting Australia. People have begun stockpiling toilet paper -- starting this week -- amid panic buying of long-life food other staples.
This has inadvertently led to Australian toilet paper manufacturers ramping up production to keep up with demand from people fearful of coronavirus.
One newspaper went one step further and printed extra pages in its editions to help out people falling short of toilet paper in their household.
The NT News -- a Darwin-based newspaper famous for its funny front pages -- on Thursday printed a special eight-page insert that can be cut into toilet paper.
The newspaper informed people about its antic in a well-timed tweet.
People loved this gesture, and hence began some epic praising -- and trolling -- of the newspaper's wit.
People had differing views on this #ToiletPaperEmergency too.
What do you think of this "desperate measure"?
