VENEZUELANS scrambled to stock up on toilet paper on Thursday as fears of a bathroom emergency spread despite the government's promise to import 50 million rolls.
The country is used to shortages of medicines and basic food items like milk and sugar but the scarcity of bathroom tissue has been unusual.
Thousands of rolls flew off the store's shelves as consumers loaded up Thursday morning.
