Stupid hyphens. Help stop hyphen abuse. Don’t hyphenate every time you spell out numbers.

No surprise there.
Amazon is also going to blow the door off the hinges.

Also, I find it funny that people get the 'nice version' even for stocking up/hoarding. I use Target's generic brand even in non-lockdown times...LoL.

(But now I don't even bother going to Target in case there's a line of people. Don't want to deal with that. I stick to smaller convenience stores.)

Consumer staples always do well in hard times. People gotta’ eat and wipe their butts.

As soon as this pandemic started my elderly MIL, all on her own, sold all of her P&G stock. :( Her sister used to work there 30 years ago so she probably had quite a bit and for a long time.

Sadly, she’ll probably see that it is going up and buy it high. And then later in the year when it starts to drop again, well, you know....

Look for sales to drop off in the coming quarter since everyone has months and months of supply.

I have owned PG stock for 20 years. It’s the bluest of blue chips.

Given the way people have taken to stockpiling instead of squeezing the Charmin, no surprise there.

Does anyone else recall that back around 1985, various customers began saying that the Proctor & Gamble Logo displayed indications of Devil Worship?
I kid you not.

This loud whispering went on for a couple of years.
Looking at the logo with it’s Sun, Moon & Stars.
In 2007, P&G was awarded $19.25 Million over such false rumors.

Moral of story: Sometimes a logo is just a logo, and nothing more.

In any crisis, there’s someone profiting. That’s one of the laws of capitalism.

Sales will return to normal levels as the media-fueled panic subsides.
