Keep your sanitizing options open.

You never know what’s going to be affected by the next bizarre surprise shortage.

That’s why it’s a bizarre surprise shortage.

One year, it’s Tickle Me Elmo. Another year, it’s toilet paper.

It probably says something about a given period of history when you look back on what we were willing to stand in lines for.

Waiting in line for KISS tickets—rad year. Waiting in line for gasoline rations—not a rad year.

(Actually some years had both. You get the idea, though.)

And as much as we’d like to think that sometime soon we’ll all be clamoring for something more like Beanie Babies and less like basic household staples, well…it just feels like we might still be in emergency hand sanitizer stash territory.

On the plus side, at SideDeal we’re not really in the “gouging people during challenging times” business, so we made sure to come up with a hand sanitizer offer that’s a good deal no matter what kind of year is happening.

Stock up with 12 or 24 at a price that’s more than fair for an Elmo year or a gas rationing year.

We can’t tell you what the next Beanie Baby is going to be—maybe it was those digital Pokemon creatures everyone was chasing for a little bit there. But we can tell you that having a little supply of hand sanitizer isn’t something you’ll be likely to regret.

After all, even if we end up back at KISS shows, that’s really not a bad place to have some sanitizer on hand either.

Stock up for whatever the future may bring, even if it’s just killing germs at a retro rock show.
