This article is from May but apparently some pasta shortages is still a thing. As with Coca Cola, etc., manufacturers are focusing on their top sellers. (We haven't seen caffeine-free regular Coke since last spring, so he is making due with regular.)

I can't remember the last time I made or had stuffed shells. These were delish! (I actually morphed the recipe from my big JOC and the one from the box because these were simpler than the one in the library book.)
A lady at work told me she used lasagna noodles. Said it was too hard and too messy to stuff the shells, so she soaked lasagna noodles to soften them while she made the filling, put filling on each and rolled it up. She said it was much easier, and with the sauce covering it, it looked good, I never tried it, but thought it sounded like a good idea.
Thanks! Yes, I believe I've seen recipes for "Lasagna Rollups," which was my backup plan in case none of my stores had tubes or jumbo shells.0 -

I do this all the time. It's so much faster than stuffing tubes of pasta, and once it's baked you can't tell the difference. We have lasagna sheets that are soft and no pre-soaking or pre-cooking.1 -
Very petty reason: At the grocer, I would always put my nose into pre-bagged produce like citrus, potatoes or onions. I can usually smell mildew or rot, even when I can't see it. Now, I just grab and go.3

This is not MY petty reason, as I can't stand most artificial fragrances, but apparently many others' petty reason, albeit unbeknownst to them:
A New COVID Side Effect: Bad Reviews for Scented Candles
One of the most widely-known side effects of COVID-19 is it causes loss of taste and smell in those infected. Yet, despite this well-documented fact, some who have tested positive still leave bad reviews online for scented candles. Their principal complaint? They can't smell them.
After someone named Terri Nelson noted the trend on Twitter, another person shared a link from Yankee Candle's online shop for the Sparkling Cinnamon fragrance. The link was from a one-star review, where the purchaser, under the headline of "Waste of money," wrote "I purchased three of these. What a waste. There's virtually NO scent to these at all!! If I wasn't confined to my home because of covid I would return these for sure."
