My cousin texted me this morning about her great score, she got some toilet paper at the store this morning. She further remarked that she thought it seemed like WWII. She was referring to the empty shelves and it made her think about WWII rationing.

My dad was sitting at the breakfast table next to me. He was a pre-teen during WWII and remembers it well. So, I asked, were the shelves empty during WWII rationing. He said no.
