Economy Tanking but People ARE Eating Takeout

Looking at the only orders, an interesting development.  Seems like online takeout orders dropped when the whole economic woes news broke out, which was expected and not surprising to see.  However, as time progressed and more and more bad news is coming out, without visible end (at least so far) in sight... and yet the orders have picked up and continue to come in at a decent clip.

Anyone else noticed a similar effect?  No question that some restaurants are going out of business and clearly times are worse, but perhaps the fact that people still need to eat and still want the convenience of online ordering (i.e. don't want to cook, but do want to eat at home) explains it somewhat.

Thoughts anyone?
