Sort of on topic, reminds me of when a mate used to work for Sainsburys.
In the run up to one of the D-Day memorial weekends once, his manager was convinced that there would be a huge run on barbeque stuff on the D-Day weekend.

After the weekend, it became clear that no-one else thought the same way, and the stock room was so chocka with unsold produce, that it was difficult to even get in there.
Presently, someone affixed a sign to the door thus:
"Never in the field of retail was so much ordered by so few for such little point..."
