Soooo true and funny -in a way
Panic Buying: The Great Aussie Olympic Sport...âď¸
Ahh, panic buyingâa time-honored tradition where everyday Aussies transform into doomsday preppers overnight. One minute, you're at Woolies grabbing a loaf of bread, next minute, you're dodging a trolley full of 87 packs of toilet paper like it's a game of Aussie Ninja Warrior.
The shelves are stripped cleaner than a Bunnings snag stand at lunchtime, and suddenly, things no one ever wantedâlike tinned asparagus and gluten-free kale chipsâare now hot property. Karen from down the street, who swore she âonly eats fresh,â is now hoarding enough canned beans to power a small village.
And letâs not forget the blokes who panic-buy beer like thereâs an apocalypse brewing. Because letâs be realâif the world is ending, you donât wanna face it sober.
Meanwhile, poor old grandpa just wanted some milk and now has to barter his way through a black market of essentials, swapping a pack of Tim Tams for a single roll of 3-ply.
Moral of the story? Take a breath, cobbers. We survived Vegemite shortages, magpie season, and Shane Warne retiring twiceâweâll be alright...đ
