This is serious, folks. My local supermarket has run out of almost all brands of chocolate bars. In fact there's hardly any chocolate of any sort available. This makes the toilet paper shortage appear trivial.

Another of life's essentials.
I wonder how our ancestors survived before the era of trade routes to far flung lands.
My heart breaks for your plight!

I may be forced to turn to toffees injected with caffeine.
@Petter Toffee Kovfefe?
@TheoryNumber3 Is that a beer?
@Petter Sounds like it, but no..... Covfefe (/kəvˈfeɪfeɪ, koʊˈfɛfeɪ/) was a misspelling of the word "coverage" made in a viral tweet by U.S. President Donald Trump, which subsequently became an internet meme. Shortly after midnight (EDT) on May 31, 2017, Trump tweeted "Despite the constant negative press covfefe", and stopped.
Oh dear, I have about 2 weeks worth either way. The loo roll won’t last that if we have to work from home 
sorry to hear, hope the supplies situation is better soon.

Toilet paper is two sided, you know. 
Horrible situation.

These vitamin bearing bars should have had mention in that great document, praising the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of chocolate.
Yesterday my Aldi's even had New flavors of chocolate bars...the one with bourbon caramel filling was deeeelicious!

Aaarrgh. What fiendish type of mediaeval torture be this? In truth, 'tis beyond the bounds of the great Geneva convention, which doth prohibit and outlaw, nay proscribe, such foul means of evil mental anguish.
@Petter aaaannndd, I ate it as soon as I put the groceries away.........
@AnneWimsey Cease and desist, I prithee. Pass me thy parchment and a quill, and I shall set my hand to whatever confessions thou seek, but no more of this mental cruelty, I beg of thee!!
@Petter melty bourbon-y caramel with dark chocolate containment, with a "snap" to it.......
@AnneWimsey Enough, foul witch of my mind, ere I take a knife to my bosom.
Try this, eat your oldest, least desirable goods first. Not fast ..in anticipation of the goodies.. just first. Dull down your desires, and like Mad Max ..that can of dog food will be delicious ~

Mine are going in perishable order, but chocolate’s a daily 3 pieces ration 
for morale you know 
(The scotch is on hold for now, in case things get really bad!).
"Civilization is two skipped chocolate bars and twenty-four hours away from barbarism."
Can't remember who said it, but a more ringing truth has never been uttered.

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman in, ‘Good Omens’. People quote it as Neil, but the book was by both of them

@girlwithsmiles saw some were attributing a version of it to Larry Niven, too.
No idea myself.
@1of5 oh yes, from Lucifer’s hammer and quoted by Pratchett and Gaiman. My bad
