I learned a little. TP manufacturers work with an on-demand system. They can predict accurately how much of their product will sell. It sells evenly, and there are no peak times of demand, no pooping holidays, so to speak. That's why there was a shortage. People bought extras, and there was no big inventory in warehouses to draw from.
