I have a theory that once people stop this tp hoarding panic,
and plenty is on the shelves all the time again, all those
hoarders won't buy any for months. This could lead to a
large supply surplus and no demand.

At that time, TP might go on great sale prices just because
nobody is buying and they need to sell off the surplus.
