Does anyone really squeeze the Charmin?

[Matterhorn Fan]

Toilet paper is out of control.

The other day I went to Target to buy toilet paper. The only 4-pack of the kind I usually get was partially torn open (eiw), so I was forced to buy a different kind of toilet paper.

I ended up with a 6-pack of Charmin "Mega Rolls"--the package proudly declares that these 6 rolls are equal to 24 regular rolls. Yes, 24.

How lazy have people gotten? Must we have a neverending roll of toilet paper in our homes? In theme park restrooms, I understand. But at home, if the roll runs out, I'll change it. No big deal.

These stupid Mega Rolls even came with a gadget--the "Charmin Extender" (sounds dirty, doesn't it?)--which is supposed to make these ginormous rolls of TP actually fit in my toilet paper holder.

It doesn't. The roll only fits on it crooked, which means about half the roll has to be used up before it'll even fit in my toilet paper holder, even with this magial Charmin Extender. Once half the roll is gone, it'll fit with the normal holder. Duh.

I suppse the Mega Roll is squeezably soft. Perhaps I should donate the remaining 5 rolls to someone who has puppies that could sleep on them?

Hey Target! Keep the regular stuff in stock, will ya?

Are you really complaining about having too much toilet paper, yo?

I like mega rolls. Mega rolls, last mega long and mega me happy.

Our cat Samwise would be in heaven. He loves to unwind tp, and the softer the better. (He ignores the Scott tissue- probably chafes his little paws).

Yes

One cannot have too much toilet paper.

And socks.

I have no less then 100 pairs of socks :blush:

My bathroom has Two toilet paper roll holders :blush:

I dig the idea of changing the roll less often. But having to have a crappy extender thing, and then the extender thing doesn't even work? I call shenanigans. I'd never put up with that crap. Email the bastards, MF!!! :D

Do you think that the holders installed in houses will slowly become bigger and bigger to accomodate the change? Like toothbrush holders? The ancient toothbrush holder installed at my parents' house can't hold any modern toothbrushes.

I prefer the Northern double rolls. They fit perfectly in the regular tp holders. I have gotten so used to the double rolls I get irritated by the small rolls (at home only).

Kitties have very discrminating tastes!

I don't like the big rolls. I think it makes the people too damn comfortable and they get out of the habit of checking and changing the roll.

I'm raising teens here, ya know. Can't make their lives too easy. :evil:

And, yes, that is true about the toothbrush holders. The kids all have the battery opperated ones and they do not fit in the old holder. I picked up a freestanding one to hold them.

[Baileykat]

Oh my gosh! The toothbrush holder thing bugs me to death! It's near impossible to find a brush that has any kind of new features..meaning it's not just a flat bristled toothbrush...that will fit into our holder. Our's is freestanding..and I guess I could just buy a new one..but they all have the same size holes...urk!

And toilet paper...I only buy the scented Charmin...I like the smell and it adds a little something to the bathroom...gives it a nice flowery scent...

[Prudence]

Except that normal rolls are smaller than they used to be. But I love Charmin. Charmin is the best. I don't care how much it isn't on sale, it must be the Charmin.

And I have the Sonicare -- toothbrush to the gods. It sits in its own rechargeable base -- no need for a separate holder. It peers down its bristles at your inferior, battery powered knock-offs.

this thread makes me laugh.....

[Matterhorn Fan]

I don't mind having lots of toilet paper. I mind having rolls that don't fit on the holder. I have to set the roll on the back of the toilet, which makes it look like I'm too lazy to change the roll. I'm lazy, but I'm not that lazy!

The toothbrush thing is easy to solve. Buy a cup, and put your toothbrush in it. Of course, I also have the Sonicare which stands on its very own base looking down upon the cheapy manual toothbrush. The Sonicare has shamed the manual toothbrush. The manual toothbrush's crappy handle broke on me the other day.

Long live the Sonicare.

I'm with Tref and blueerica on this one.

It *sucks* to run out of toilet paper and not realize it at the last minute. Not that this has ever happened to me. No, not me. Never ever.

I also run out of socks a lot. Because they escape to the Land of Lost Things on a near regular basis. At least one half of the pair does. Either that or Dobby steals them.

[flippyshark]

MF - If you are truly unhappy with the mega-rolls, I will happily take them off your hands.

[dsnylndmom]

Count me in the "never enough tp club" I have two young boys plus ALL their friends, there is NEVER enough tp in this house! Mega rolls are a blessing from God I tell ya! :D (but they actually fit on my holder weird! Oh and our poor pathetic manual toothbrushes are in a cup!

I squeeze the lemons.

I've found a new career- breastologist!

As far as tp goes, the front bathroom only holds the regular size rolls, so I buy a large package and put the extra rolls under the sink. Change your own damn roll when it runs out. The master bathroom holds the double rolls, so those are better.

The cats have thankfully not discovered how to unroll the tp, which is good because hubby has fits if the toilet paper is put on the roll wrong. It's got to unroll from the top, not the bottom. :)

It's got to unroll from the top, not the bottom. Of course ;)

[alphabassettgrrl]

My mom can't do the tp right cuz her cat unrolls it.
