18 things hoarders did not take
Toilet paper, canned food, pasta and disinfectant hand gel: the things hoarders can’t get enough of. But there are also products that are left behind. Like the last-picked kids in gym class, they sadly remain on the shelf. Who are they? And why does nobody want them? An overview.
#1 Gluten-free white bread. Okay, we get that one.
Virtually nothing left but gluten-free white bread at #TraderJoes.
The best part was when the checkout guy asked me if I found everything I wanted. I laughed and he said sorry, that's just a reflex. pic.twitter.com/ElOTo0i6eR— Laura (@LauraHunttFoti) March 13, 2020
#2 Here’s the answer to the question: does pineapple belong on pizza?

#3 As if the prettiest girl in the class had contracted an STI.
#4 Fun fact: the battle between Manhattan Clam Chowder (tomato-based) and New England Clam Chowder dates back to before the war. Even in times of crisis, hoarders apparently still hold on to those principles.

#5 Just like pineapple on pizza, vegetable pizza bases aren’t exactly popular.
What I learned today about panic shopping is no one wants the broccoli pizza crust during a crisis. Btw everyone at #TraderJoes #EastCobb was lovely pic.twitter.com/sAGsuyHp4N

#6 Admittedly, this really doesn’t sound tasty either.

#7 They don’t know what they’re missing. Hummus is actually a perfect base for your dessert.
Somehow reassuring in the midst of #coronavirus shopping frenzy to know that people still have the sense *not* to buy #chocolatehummus and buffalo hummus. #traderjoes #dc pic.twitter.com/fLvuUFWz3Y

#8 Shellfish and shelf life don’t really feel like a match made in heaven either.

#11 They’re much tastier dried and soaked.

#12 And we thought that, together with Spam, it would make a comeback.
Sadly, the only thing left in this Trader Joe’s is corned beef. #TraderJoes #cornedbeef pic.twitter.com/t6IILye9ZR

#17 We really don’t understand this at all.
Net een rondje door het oorlogsgebied van de plaatselijke super gedaan. Lege schappen door het #hamsteren
En ik vraag me af wat er mis is met de #paaseitjes dat die blijven liggen?? pic.twitter.com/wMvjDHUcgj
