Some were desperate, the buns were already sold out, so they decided to take matters into their own hands.

While others were happy to get their hands on the popular purchase.

“I need to buy some of these at the next store,” the woman said. “My kids will love them.”

“So nostalgic!” another said. “I want to cry with happiness.”
