I was listening to local talk radio yesterday when I was out, and the guy was talking about this 3-ply......he was cracking me up...

Said it's recommended for women 45 and older wanting peace and tranquility in their lives. Said he needed to get several cases of it for home...... :uhsure:


Toilet paper's going to bring "tranquility" to my life...... :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

well, if they had bothered to keep the old two ply TP the same instead of thinning it out so much that one could see through an individual ply, they wouldn't need the three ply. This is just another instance where companies have made cuts in product quality and the consumers kept silent. Apparently there were just enough consumers complaining that it made a market for those folks that need the "extra absorbency".

Have you bought loose notebook paper recently?  It's almost as bad as the see-through toilet paper

I really, REALLY, REALLY can't believe we are discussing the relative merits of two ply vs. three ply toilet paper. :-)

this discussion obviously touches on a sensitive spot.

Also 3 ply is a far better development than the 'moist' and scented varieties.

When the USS Indianapolis delivered the first atomic bomb to Tinian, there were rumors on the ship that they were really bringing scented toilet paper to General MacArthur.

Toilet paper is serious business.
