You know, shortages aside, it's funny to see where allegiances lie in the face of overwhelming demand.
In the U.S. where I am, eggs are becoming rare, but low-fat greek yogurt and nut granola (something that I buy and would actually want to last a quarantine) are as normal. Frozen bacon/egg breakfast pastries and Eggo frozen waffles are all gone. Totinos frozen party pizzas and pizza bites are heavily hit, but cauliflower crust pizzas are still ignored. Mysteriously, Fruit Loops seem to keep getting hit hard. It's hard to get frozen french fries either. Anything with "organic" on it is as normal even among commonly hit products.
And today, the saddest thing I've seen yet: multiple brands of ice cream totally depleted, freezer shelves empty, save for the choco-mint. Poor chocolate chip mint still the least favorite even in a crisis.
The whole idea is not having to touch your own shit, but if you're one of the lucky people that can also get ahold of gloves it might not be so bad.
I guess it's just how I was grown but I couldn't care less about what my hands touch given that "what" does not refer to health-concerning things like chemicals because I would just wash my hands afterwards anyways so I just scoop away at my behind, probably like a lot of other 3rd worlders.
I think it was on the BBC News site they had an article on how people in the US were spending their stimulus checks. At least one person cited used the money to buy a bidet, having the forethought that it would reduce their need for TP.
