Collected Item: “Toilet Paper Is Your Prize!”

Give your story a title.

Toilet Paper Is Your Prize!

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

meme

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Of course, you've heard all about the toilet paper shortage, the hoarding of it, and the bare shelves where toilet paper used to be. This is a humorous meme offering toilet paper as the prize--if you can grab it with the big claw. These games are notoriously difficult to win with, too.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

bigclaw, winner, game, toiletpaper, prize, shortage, humor

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
