In the case of something like a world war, which is the type of scenario we're talking about here, I think people would begrudgingly accept that bananas and coffee are unavailable or very expensive.

People substitute very quickly and happily.

I remember food shortages during Covid. Nowhere near as bad as toilet paper shortages.

I can go without chocolate for a few days. Weeks, maybe. But if it becomes months, I get crabby.
