Since paper is sold by weight, it is cheaper (per lineal foot) to sell "water" than it is to sell fiber(...more money for the execs). And all that "fluff" means more thickness, but less footage. Sorry- don't kill the messenger. I don't make ass wipe though, just glossy magazine paper- a bit rough on the old tushy!<BR/> Also, we do use recycled material, but it makes a paper machine run like crap (pun intended). I always feel funny about about using recycled toilet paper. I could cut out the middleman and just wipe my butt with GARBAGE.<BR/> Oh yes. My wife stocks more toilet paper than Russia, yet I'm still left stranded- as no one knows how to replace the rolls....must be a guy thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-2245087015570831672007-08-07T19:15:00.000-04:002007-08-07T19:15:00.000-04:00I skimp on lots of things, but I like luxurious, o...I skimp on lots of things, but I like luxurious, overpriced, non-eco-friendly toilet paper. I want it so soft and toilet-clogging it feels like I'm wiping my ass with silk. :)Collin Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777180960376039699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-74240181582671308472007-08-07T17:54:00.000-04:002007-08-07T17:54:00.000-04:00I like Scott!

My grandma used to buy purple toilet paper. That was sexy, like wiping yourself with a handful of flowers. <BR/><BR/>Mamoo, you shoulda just made that man sit there with a dirty bum till hell froze over!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489424880198887882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-24647266615167219492007-08-07T16:17:00.000-04:002007-08-07T16:17:00.000-04:00even to this day,26 years later, i never run out o...even to this day,26 years later, i never run out of toilet paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
