First went the hand sanitizer, disinfectants and toilet paper. Now hair clippers and hair dye are flying off shelves. In recent weeks, Americans' shopping patterns are serving as a reflection of how the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve and affect daily lives.

"Most mills are 24 hours, 7 days a week operations already. They are running on fixed capacity," Tom Sellars, CEO of Sellars Absorbent Materials in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, told CNN Business last month. "It's not like there's an idle machine that can be cranked up to increase production."

Spiral hams were also popular, with sales spiking 622% and 413%, in that same time period, according to Nielsen. "It's going to be a minute for the supply chain to react to so much more demand in such a short amount of time," Sherri Merrill, procurement manager for Bob's Red Mill,Spiral ham was still king during the week ending April 4, but Nielsen's data also showed that consumers were starting to gravitate toward other products toSales of hair clippers increased 166% and hair colouring products rose 23%, from the same period a year earlier, according to Nielsen.

Letting my grey hairs show is 100% better than going to Walmart to shop for hair color. goinggrey walmart COVID19

**correction**Walmart CEO incites fear to the masses to make money👍🏾

😂😂

Any 24 hour WalMarts around anymore ? Could use some Grecian Formula...👵👴

I'm single, gray hair is sexy!

Wal-Mart is the worst.

They said is no more dry yeast ..wel I buy it today..so do we believe this ?

This must be at least the tenth time has retweeted this nonsense about Walmart with the WRONG video attached to it. What's going on at ?

How vain can humans become?

Next will be a shortage of razors.

Walmart , for time being please unlock your shoppingcarts so customers avoid bringing loonie from home or borrow from other fellows...

Lol yup. Just wait until Botox wears off and your youthful face friends are suddenly very realistic looking. This is the stuff we have to just laugh at during this time and roll with it folks.

All I need is whole-wheat flour 😔

I wonder what product group is next.

fakenews , deep state funded

Don’t forget jigsaw puzzles. All sold out!

Ahhh news staff got to the root of this story

Peroxide blondes will be next

I am not sure why people are buying hair coloring as from most of the video's I have seen you just go to Walgreen's a take it! What have we become.

What does it even mean? Did he mean plain and simple everybody is buying hair colour or does it have some other meaning since he used the term phase. Nothing on google.

Lmao how true

Blah, blah, blah...who cares about fucking hair dye.

The bottom line, tweety bird has become very annoying

Yes. Saw that one coming. In my local Walmart when I visited 2 weeks ago, the hair colour isle was beginning to look very bare.

Report real news

What is spiral ham?

👍

Walmart should have everything outside of groceries blocked off.

Grey is natural. Am letting it be instead of exhibiting stupidity.

Walmart banned the sale of new car seats for kids, you should cover that story ctv.

It’s about that time.

kind of makes sense, all the hair salons, barber shops are shut down.

Well if it's a ctv news article believe only 40% of it

Fuck Walmart.

maybmaddie

No we’re not

Clueless is the only requirement to be a greedy CEO .

Good old CTV -- the attached video has NOTHING to do with the tweet!

I earned every one of these grey hairs and I'm darned proud of them. Wrinkles show the ability to express emotion, I'm proud of them too.

At the risk of being dragged on social media why exactly are we allowing Walmart to sell anything other than food and stuff that is available in pharmacies? Why have we forced clothing and shoe stores to close while allowing Walmart to continue to sell these items?

I thought it would be antidepression drugs by now.

I guess they're trying to get rid of stock of hair colouring that wasn't selling by inciting panic buying?

meh heh heh bought months ago when I noticed the 'no amonia' kind disappearing from the shelves and not being restocked...

Glad I stopped coloring!! Grey hair is in!

I guess hair salons will be busy when it get back to normal. Hair colour correction prices are 4-6 times the price of regular colour services. Maybe even more due to demand. resisttemptation

🤣🤣🤣

Glad we can be part of this social experiment and give media a few laughs at our expense. 🤡

My Wife chose a lovely shade of purple.

Tokyo Olympic CEO hints games could be in doubt even in 2021As the coronavirus spreads in Japan, the chief executive of the Tokyo Games said Friday he can't guarantee the postponed Olympics will be staged next year -- even with the long delay. That is a fact, did everyone still think that this virus was going to go away? Its personally not MY fault that so many billionaires lost a giant gambling bet and didn't force the government to act harder.
