The novel coronavirus wave has left countries, including Italy, France, Norway, and Spain, on lockdown, and many others encouraging self-isolation. This has, however, also driven people to panic-buy things in an attempt to stay stocked up.

Social media users are now confessing the most ridiculous and weirdest purchases they have made during their stockpiling trips.

Twitter user Brandy Jensen, who started the thread, admitted that she bought three types of jams herself.

One user replied, “I have an irresponsible number of liters of olives,” while another responded, “Lentils. I hate lentils.”

Another consumer decided to “panic grow” with “seedlings for every vegetable” instead.

With these random, irrational purchases, one person suggested to hold “the weirdest potluck ever when this all blows over.”
