I would hardly call a few peoples&#x27; orders being canceled decending into chaos.<p>Having lived through the 80s I still remember the actual chaos over cabbage patch kid shortages and the battles that ensued.<p>Actually the craziest one was the Rubiks Cube, I can still see in my minds&#x27; eye the huge crowds surrounding and almost swarming the staff bringing them out. Store staff in sheer terror were pitching (firing) the cubes into the crowd. Customers were being beaned in their heads with cubes and then getting trampled as the mob rushed in to pick them up, simmilar to people going aftet home run baseballs!!<p>That was chaos!!
