After Panic Buyers Left, These 39 Things Were Untouched At Supermarkets
Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and long-lasting goods. These are the things that we know coronavirus panic buyers want. They buy them in packs. They buy them in pallets. And supermarket shelves end up empty.
But not completely empty! Some poor items get left behind. Things that even panic-driven preppers don’t want. What are these things? We’re so glad you asked. Bored Panda compiled a list of the things that get left behind on supermarket shelves, from Hawaiian pizza (pineapples and ham, anyone?) to chocolate hummus. So scroll down and leave a comment below about what unwanted goods you’ve seen left behind in shops.
From what we’ve seen so far, strange brands and peculiar foods like weird-flavored potato chips (not to mention Corona beer) seem to get left behind. But what flies off the shelves like hot buns is toilet paper. But why is that?

I've got like 10 cans of that in my cupboard. Been there for about a year.

Are people seriously avoiding Corona beer just because it has the same name as the virus? That is painfully stupid.

The only thing left on the shelves due to corona virus. At least it’s not *that* bad yet.

Even in the apocalypse nobody wants ham and pineapple

Dear Arrow water, people would rather risk death than drink your nasty tasting water

It’s spring water, and 25% the price of Fiji. Whatever, more for me.

Or, maybe just maybe, the Amy's Kitchen delivery person is on their game! Now would be a great time to empty out your inventory.

It’s actually quite nice with a bit of butter and pepper sprinkled on top.

It’s £1.70. When everything around it is between 53-75p the top end ranges will be the last to go and rightly so.

Because corned beef is 2x the normal price til after St. Patty’s Day, when it will be 1/2 the normal price. ‘Murica!

Water's not exactly something we don't already have at home, though.

They’re delicious, but apparently not worth the extra $0.50 to the budget-minded apocalypse buyer.

When the orange moron is calling it the ‘Chinese virus’ what do you expect. Stuff that doesn’t sell like this should go to the homeless shelter where non idiots will appreciate it.

The amount of fresh food that is going to be thrown away really upsets me.

Really? With people having so much more time at home, I really think they'll be much more likely to use it... Except maybe for people who panic bought things they know nothing about, like artichokes or something.

Shops should use this indeed as a marker to what products to discontinue or stock less.

Grocery stores have sophisticated inventory systems and know exactly what to keep in stock. Just because a certain group of panicking people doesn't eat pineapple pizza, doesn't make it an unsellable product, it makes it a product that's not bought by people who panic quickly. You are mistaken these people for the average joe just because they had a big impact. They clearly and luckily are not.
