Precious commodity?
Who would've imagined this? With the global economy being the way it is, I thought that other things would become scarce, but Cuba has redefined bizarre, by being the first country to suffer from a toilet paper drought in recent years. (Honestly, I have a hunch that they're probably the first country to ever suffer such a plight.) This makes me wonder what is wrong with the food in Cuba. After all, why else would there be such a bizarre shortage in the country?
The Miami Herald reported:
There's good news and bad news in Cuba.
The bad news: There's a shortage of toilet paper, and officials in Havana say it will not ease until the end of the year.
The good news: Day-old copies of the Communist party's newspaper Granma, a traditional substitute, are available for less than a U.S. penny. And that's six to eight full, if rough, pages per day.
