Spoons? I don't think i want to know.

I was unaware of this and will look for options. It's a good idea, but they need to make an acceptable product.

Rusty spoons, George.

Rougher toilet paper is OK with regular spoons.

I don't think I want to know about a product that holds 12 times its weight in....
Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

sorry to hear this. I'm a huge fan of Charmin Ultra Soft. Best product in the world. I see they also have an Extra Strong variety, which is actually a bit rough. Butt when that came out, I remember wondering, who is doing what with toilet paper that required more strength than the average roll? :shrug:

The girls are pretty picky. Me, I'm pretty much just glad to have SOME toilet paper when needed.

Cottonelle Ultra rocks. My insurance agent tells me that I should live till I'm around 79 or so. A crop tree takes between 20 and 30 years to reach maturity. I figure over the span of my entire life, I'll have wiped the equivalent of 3 or 4 good-sized trees' worth of toilet paper across my ass. I think that's a pretty good use of 3 or 4 seedlings dropped into the ground the year I was born. I suppose that will be next: people are buying acres of crop trees to offset carbon emissions; next, we'll have to buy a few trees for the right to buy our choice of toilet paper.

Do you strip the kernels before or after?

I love it when a thread goes (pardon the expression) into the crapper.

Some environmentalist you are.

It started in the forest. It ended in the crapper.

We're sending you back to seventh grade, so you can learn the cycle all over again. You won't graduate until you can sing "The Circle of Life" solo.

But fluffiness comes at a price: millions of trees harvested in North America and in Latin American countries, including some percentage of trees from rare old-growth forests in Canada.




Yes indeed, possibly the percentage of harvested old forest growth that traditionally ended up being incinerated at the lumber mill but is now recycled to make other wood and paper products including fluffy toilet paper.
