Why Does Toilet Paper Need a Commercial?

Seriously?  Who isn't buying this stuff?  It's not like we need 30 second spots to remind us, "hey, we need something in the bathroom that we can use to clean ourselves up a bit after we're done in there!"  No!  It's not like you have to send the kids out into the woods to gather up usable leafage as a suitable replacement!  Sure, there's different kinds, some thicker or softer than others, but basically, toilet paper is toilet paper!  If it's not made out of sandpaper, it's fine!

Just sayin...

Isn't "one-ply" an example of tautology, anyway?

And don't you all perform a surreptitious little in-store squeeze-test when considering a change of toilet paper, to gauge the likely degree of softness for each spent penny?

Why, the companies that know people will 1) go for the cheapest on the store shelf, and 2) use it up twice as fast because they use enough to fold over enough times to make however many ply feels right at the moment.

Here is the one for Buffy:

Yet another reason why @HerNameIsBuffy and I, while we might make for lifelong and loyal friends, could never share an abode...

I need to be able to assign this eleventy million likes!

Mr. Whipple is no longer with us, but we still refrain from squeezing in his memory.  As a nation it's the one thing we agreed on.

I heard that the dye was dangerous to the vagina @HerNameIsBuffy. 

Fuck, is THAT why my vagina is pink?! 

I wish I had been born a Millennial. :(

One ply is also good for camping. It supposedly dissolves easier in RV systems and Port-A-Potties.

I am old enough to remember colored toilet paper. My favorite was white with little printed floral designs. My mom refused to buy colored toilet paper when I was a kid, said a doctor told her it was BAD, but when I became an adult, I bought it, never had any problems. But then it gradually started to disappear. And I was sad. LOL. But now they emboss little floral designs on it, which is almost as good. Well, not really.

:pb_eek: I would just like to clarify to younger readers that Mr Whipple of Charmin Paper Products Inc is in no way related to Mr Willy Wonka of The Chocolate Factory of Greater Central England.

Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight bars are produced in a controlled environment that is free from all bathroom tissue products. 

Thank you.

      If I were her neighbor I'd assume a hoarder lived there based on the porch, even if the crap cluttering it up frequently changed.

      I think Joy is one of the siblings that was critical of Jill when she pulled away from the family the way she did, and they may not have much of a relationship right now. Don’t see any interaction on social media, though I know we don’t see everything. That would be a shame if that was the case, especially since Jill was there for Joy when Joy lost Annabelle.

      It's also possible Joy was there and requested not to be photographed.

      That was a dreadfully extreme reaction and yes therapy needing or she's among the 1 percent of most selfish people on earth.  Joy has PPD and is getting therapy.  I can see where she mighht not go to the funeral, but support Jill in other ways.

      "Very thoughtful and intentional updates".  That's a load of bullshit.  She wanted her kitchen redone and they were willing to spend six months in a rental to have it just like Braggie wanted it.  If she'd really put thought into it, she would have arranged the kitchen so that it was more child-friendly.  She could have actually had the kitchen designed so it would be easier to prep for meals and clean up afterwards.  I see nothing like that.  It's just new knobs, distressed painting, and old furniture.   (That distressed green door is making me nuts.)  Where are the pull-outs for pan storage?  What about, you know, rounding the damn corners so your little boys aren't always cracking their skulls on the corners as they skid around the kitchen?  What about comfortable seating?  What about a pantry that's closer to the kitchen counter?  What about making the daily dinnerware easier to put away and not using shelves in the kitchen to display your mismatched bowls and cups?  And why is there a bandanna hanging right near a stove burner?

      Didn't she call them "twinbies" as a portmanteau for twin babies? Those are not babies anymore and haven't been for a while. I'm probably just being BEC about this but I do wonder if they'll be babied for as long as Janessa Rodrigues is.

      Yes, they will.  The girls are twinsies and the boys are twinbies.  Abbie thinks that's cute.  She mentioned in a story yesterday that she had to clean some poopy diapers so the boys are nearly four and she still isn't toilet training them.  They will stay babies for a couple more years.
