Has anyone ever tried to call Greg at 1-667-693-5420 ?
What happened?
yknow what’s great? unit pricing laws
tldr: in australia businesses must display “unit price” on labels: price per 100g, per 100ml, per sheet, etc for every product so that packages are comparable
I wonder if buying dietary fiber is ACTUALLY worth the money saved in TP.
Bidet with a blow dryer.
Does the blow dryer actually work?
Because I imagine it would work about as well as the blow dryer for your hands. You just give up and wipe your damp hands on your pants/shirt.
Also you’re already down to like 2 wipes at most with a bidet. How much are you really saving to get your ass stank blown everywhere. No idea how it works. Just imagining a Dyson but in your toilet
It doesn’t get as wet as when washing your hands so it dries quicker 🤷♂️
It’s gonna feel wet from sweat 2 minutes after I leave the bathroom anyway.
It’s super expensive too. There are handmade papers from Japan that are less expensive than your average toilet paper.
By volume??? Where are you buying it? Also what’re you eating? Chipotle 24/7?
I have a bidet and my toilet paper budget is literally 1 big Costco size pack per year at ~ $20. I could cut so many expenses before that is a problem spend.
Get it from the grocery store. It’s like $3.50 a square foot or something. Seattle, so it’s expensive. Also, costco toilet paper sucks and no bidet.
Cornholio 2028!
Just use price divided by total sq.ft.
Go by weight. If you have two bundles that have the same number of rolls, the heavier one either has more or thicker squares.
And if they add lead or something else heavy to the packaging? Ha! Checkmate!
Yeah be careful they be cutting the toilet paper with fent out there. Stay safe.

One of the most vivid arithmetic failings displayed by Americans occurred in the early 1980s, when the A&W restaurant chain released a new hamburger to rival the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. With a third-pound of beef, the A&W burger had more meat than the Quarter Pounder; in taste tests, customers preferred A&W’s burger. And it was less expensive. A lavish A&W television and radio marketing campaign cited these benefits. Yet instead of leaping at the great value, customers snubbed it.
Only when the company held customer focus groups did it become clear why. The Third Pounder presented the American public with a test in fractions. And we failed. Misunderstanding the value of one-third, customers believed they were being overcharged. Why, they asked the researchers, should they pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as they did for a quarter-pound of meat at McDonald’s. The “4” in “¼,” larger than the “3” in “⅓,” led them astray.
America: Failing 2nd grade math since the 1980s.
In fairness, the people they surveyed grew up breathing lead. I wonder if a modern audience would handle that test better
The modern consumer would understand the a&w restaurant is probably run much more city than the McDonald’s restaurant unfortunately. It’s always interesting to me when I go to the McDonald’s near my house that shares a parking lot with KFC / a&w and unfortunately that a&w and KFC restaurant is literally one of the worst run restaurants in my area. Only rivaled by the Wendy’s three blocks away. Where is that McDonald’s the worst they’ve done is late night they’re shake machine and ice cream machine always seems to be broken and they get my order wrong probably one out of every five times. But not blatantly wrong every single order.
I just get my TP for free from the office
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime… that’s why I steal his toilet paper and make it mine.
The one that lists sheets is at least using a verifiable metric. It’s better than the “right rolls of unspecified size are more than 39 different rolls of unspecified size”.
Still silly because no one knows how many sheets they use before changing the roll, but at least it’s reasonable silly.
The label usually says total surface area in the package. The stores near me break the price down to cost per unit of area, as well. This really untangles the 'how much should I pay for a quadrahedroll vs a dodecca butt sphere" worth of paper?
Isn’t it the same problem tho, since they can make the sheets smaller and say there’s more without actually offering a longer roll?
Oh, totally. It’s by no means a good measurement, it’s just the only one that’s in some way tied to anything tangible. “8=39” doesn’t mean anything.
We need legally defined toilet paper roll standards.
Lets setup some ISO standards for shit wipers.
Helps that they tend to be square-ish, there’s a subsection of people who would notice immediately if you can’t fold perfect paper cranes from a single sheet while you’re pooping.
pretty sure they are rectangles
Which matters more total kg or mm2 ?
Kg for sure, i wouldn’t trust tp with a low cost per mm²
I also don’t trust a toilet paper with a low gsm.
Maybe we need both a gsm and total weight labeling.
This is such bullshit. Pointless manipulation of product offerings to hide the true cost, and thereby manipulate prices. I’ve been doing paper towel math like this for years and it drives me nuts. Grocery stores’ profit model is now almost entirely based on price manipulation and nothing else.
Actually, I have very simple math when it comes to TP. Will it be smooth and soft, and not annoy my ass? If yes = buy. Me and cushelle have a love hate relationship. In that my ass loves it, but my wallet hates its fucking guts.
Use a bidet. A single roll lasts me several months. It’s mostly for spot checks on days where I’ve had especially greasy meals.
Do you use, like, a blow drier too on your ass? because leaving moisture in your recently shitty ass crack sounds like a bad idea.
No that’s why you wipe after. To remove the moisture. The bidet removed the poop.
Bidet gang rise up.
Nah, real connoisseurs use a goose’s neck.
Wait till you hear about women’s clothing sizes.
Super mega rolls, now with pockets!
