Or The New Toilet Paper…

The Germans are back in hamster buying fever. Hamsterkauf is a German word used to describe panic hoarding during difficult times. It comes from the verb hamstern (hamsters are known for filling their cheeks with food ), which means “to hoard” or is this case panic buy (kauf). Since Germany covers more than 90 percent of its needs through imports, customers in many places are faced with empty shelves. Ukraine and Russia are the world’s most important export countries of sunflower oil.
