Storm Emma brought all the usual panic of closed off roads, transport delays and cancelled flights… But it also brought a pretty bizarre panic of bread, with stores selling out of batch loaves in mere hours.
We dunno why Irish people went on such a bread rampage but the scenes were MAD.
Supermarkets limited customers to buying just one loaf each and there were bread memes and sketches galore for the entire week of the storm. Looks like Amy Huberman also thought the whole bread thing was gas as she came up with a clever t-shirt idea in a tweet…
Can someone please start making “Irish Born and Bread” t-shirts for Paddy’s Day please?

The t-shirt is €25 for an adult size and there’s also adorable babygros for €16 or a ‘Born and Bread’ tote bag for €8.
HairyBaby said: “When Amy Huberman recently commented on Twitter “Can someone please start making ‘Irish Born And Bread’ t-shirts for Paddy’s Day”, everyone was very quick to suggest we take up the challange. And shur why not, it’s what we do after all. When Amy herself got in touch to see if we’d like to do it we both agreed it shold be a HairyBaby Chari-Tee.
“With that in mind the t-shirt was born (and bread) and is now available to purchase as a Limited Edition tee and as a Not For Profit project.
We got in touch with Focus Ireland who were delighted with the association and we’ve agreed to donate ‘all profits’ to the charity.”
Class.
