    Promising Pandemic Produced Products.

    Other than the increase of delivery and pick up options, what are some goods and services that the pandemic conditions facilitated, necessitated that will probably keep doing well after the pandemic?

    One I was noticing is the new oil change place where you don't have to get out of your car. Just pull in and pop the hood while they strip your drain plug.. kidding , think they suck it out from the top nowadays at those places..

    Anyway, what else became a thing 2020-2021 that's likely to keep selling post pandemic?

    Not a specific product, but I like the outdoor street seating at bars and restaurants . Also, drinks to go. Sounds like both of those will be allowed to continue here.

    Speaking of takeout, I have observed that techniques to keep food in better shape are emerging at all levels. Things like venting containers so that fried food doesn’t steam, or separating sauces from the proteins and vegetables for travel. These are innovate, cheap, and distinguish restaurants that give a fuck from the ones that don’t. I predict this will develop even more.

    Getting a home bidet is my favorite. Can’t believe we went so long without one. Now it just feels gross to use toilet paper only.

    I kinda fell off that wagon because they were substituting things without approval..

    Big fan of taking whatever they sent when we were shut in positive and following CDC and health department protocol to stay home. It's like back in the day when they fucked up the pizza but we were too high to care..

    Best thing ever… life changing and unfortunately, travel isn’t the same when you have to go back to TP…

    This could be its own thread .

    The travel is wild. I didn’t know I’d callused by butt hole until I had to use TP again after months of using the bidet. I saw some company is making a travel wand sprayer bidet but that seems ridiculous.

    We see a shitload more single use products headed to our local landfill. It's like we went backwards being environmentally conscious.

    Being able to avoid work travel due to Zoom/et al is really nice.
