As I was grocery shopping yesterday, I spent about 20 minutes on the

 

 

paper goods isle.  The only thing I needed on the isle was good ole TP.

 

 

However, good ole TP is now overflowing (pardon the pun) with too

 

 

many types and styles.  I believe one need be a math genius to just

 

 

figure out which one gives you more bang for the buck.  I asked my girls

 

 

"when did toilet paper become so confusing ?"   Isn't this the stuff we use

 

 

once and flush it away ?  I stood there trying to decipher which one was safe

 

 

for the system, and environmental friendly yet, strong enough and of course

most economical.   I needed to 'phone a friend" just to mathematically learn

 

 

the cost analysis.  I also have to make the correct choice as if I choose the

 

 

too thick brand I am sure to be cleaning an overflowing mess left by my

 

 

youngest. And too thin, is just that too thin no need to go any further with that

 

 

one.  As I finally decide on a brand I give it a squeeze and can hear a faint,

 

 

"Please don't squeeze the Charmin."   The simpler days of TP shopping are

 

 

gone.......RIP Mr Whipple.

This is why Sheryl Crow should be in every store's paper goods aisle. She knows WAAAAAAAY too much about TP for one sane person to possibly comprehend.

As for me? I buy whatever's cheapest. I'm too poor to care much about brand name.

OK, ladies...let the "dumb guy" step in for a bit.

Chrissy, what was the original? Single ply Scott? It is not, by any means the east expensive per roll...

However, it does have the most sheets and lasts twice as long as the "newer" brands. It is simple a better value.

Oh, and it decomposes better and is better for septic systems and waste water treatment plants...it's enviro-friendly.

NOW...I say to myself...am I discussing toilet paper with three women....Good Lord what have I come to!!!

Chip....thank you for joining our lil discussion on TP.....

next time you are on the TP isle, if
anything maybe you'll get a chuckle.

And remember "Don't squeeze the Charmin."
