Funniest possible treat shortage would be fireworks. Independence Day is only 2 months away. Fireworks were originally invented in China. 82% of fireworks in the world are made in China.
Every Independence Day of Trump's first presidency, the hogs went wild with fireworks. Imagine July 4, the first Independence Day of Trump's second term, and a shortage of fireworks. Hogs would go nuts.
I’ll bet anything that most of the fireworks will be procured before the tariffs. Probably a bit of an increase of prices, but not insane. Next year though? Lol
I did some websurfing, saw some various news articles on firework tariffs. Some firework companies have halted shipments. Then I came across the /r/fireworks subreddit. I'm seeing a lot of posts by people who are saying that they are firework retailers and have canceled their orders from China. Some posts say that the tariff on fireworks was at 59% as of 25 days ago. People are saying that 2026 is "America's 250th Birthday", 250 years since 1776. Time will tell, I guess

ingenuity + fireworks shortage = loads of ER admissions.
I was imagining that hogs will decide to fire guns haphazardly in lack of fireworks. I hadn't considered hogs crafting homemade fireworks but that would be very funny as well.
Lack of chocolate and coffee due to global warming is gonna cause some fits. Idk if it is running for the banks kinda fits but definitely some imperial anxiety
Isn’t it always toilet paper, for Freudian reasons?
I still think the the toilet paper hoarding during the pandemic was because they copied what they saw on tv. If you're fillming multiple takes of chaotic crowds in a store to show a burgeoning disaster its easier if you have the extras carry toilet paper than heavy bags of rice.
it’ll just force the remaining barbarians to get a $30 bidet
Unfortunately no, some folks just refuse to wash their damn asses.
but it won't be $30, it will be at least $60 if not $90 muahahahaha!
And it'll require a phone app to set up and use.
Know someone who has a wifi enabled bidet that becomes inoperable during software updates.
amazing time to be alive

proportionally a bidet purchase will still make each poop cost less
it's paradoxically gonna be computer parts and smartphones

Garlic
Implying 
's use flavour when cooking
Garlic bulbs have gotten hella small the left few weeks
Are we at risk of this? Because that's not something I want to hear.
More than half of garlic sold in the US is imported, mostly from China.
it will be considerably easier for domestic garlic production to be stepped up than manufactured goods.
Jalapeno poppas 
People make their whole personalities the 'tee hee I luv coffee' sort, so I would guess that. Or ice cream in the summer, close call.
I'll fight someone for tequila
Tequila is definitely going to disappear due to agave going extinct at some point, isn't it? 
Yup 
just let her go, Tequila will never love you for you!
They're sold out of Made in China™ dildos!!
Vapes
They banned vapes in australia at the start of this year, people just started smoking (yes you can still get vapes, yea they were mostly always under the counter)
