The TP for my Bung Hole just shrunk.

[DonRedwood]

For those of you who liked Beavis and Butthead, you'll know what I'm talking about. The rest of you....well...you'll probably just think I am gross.

But, the point I'm making is: We buy Northern Quilted toilet paper. I know it is a KOCH Roach product but my local store only carries a couple of brands so we are kind of stuck with it.

I've been saving toilet rolls for a school art project so today I took out the last roll of the package and put it on the counter next to the empty roll from the last package. 1/4" less wide. Yes, the Koch brothers have managed to worm their way into my toilet to make just a little bitty bit more profit.

So, I am making a new pledge to avoid Georgia Pacific Products and will no longer get Northern Quilted. It means a scritchier paper but this example of fleecing the American public is ridiculous and my bunghole will have to buck up and carry the price of correct politics.

1. "Fleecing the public." Heh, heh, heh.

[barnabas63]

2. toilet paper is really expensive..

I can't believe some of the prices I see at the store! What do they expect people to do???? Spend $20 per package? that adds up!

[hifiguy]

3. If you're close to a Trader Joe's

their TP is excellent - the six-roll packs last a long time and it's high quality.

Beavis: I am The Great Cornholio!! You have awakened my bunghole, and now you must pay! The streets will flow with the blood of the nonbelievers!

Principle McVicker: I don't know what your thinking, but I simply can not have students roaming the halls, interrupting other classes, and giving prophecies of a great plague.

4. I am the great Cornholio!!!!!!!

6. From Lake Titikaka!!!!!

18. Are you threatening me???? My bung hole will not wait!!! Heh heh heh!!!!

[woo me with science]

5. Scott did this a while back, as well as some other brands,

including the generic and store brands. Noticed that the rolls weren't lasting nearly as long.

7. I'm saving a few Scott's roll to show the next generation...

how it was

[treestar]

8. Call and ask them: Are you threatening me?

[TalkingDog]

12. YES!

[Whovian]

9. Big pet peeve of mine... And TP you can see through.

What is that? Some sort of practical joke?

[msanthrope]

10. Both Trader Joe's and Costco put out a brand that would satisfy Cornholio. nt

[Egalitarian Thug]

11. Good for you. Every little bit helps. n/t

13. I am not alone

I have noticed this for a while now. The amazing shrinking TP roll. I used to take a minute or two to pick out a supply of TP for the home. Now, it seems to take forever; some rolls are shorter than others, some are wider than others, some are square, some are not quite square, 1-ply, 2-ply, now 3-ply. What's a person to do? I have also noticed they seem to hit you with the ole Romney double down, smaller sizes, less square footage, and at a higher cost. Ahh the days when I used to only think about how well I could throw the stuff and if I could make it over that big tree in my friends front yard.

[Historic NY]

20. They don't fit my expensive roll holders....

that i paid extra for. I can almost get 2 rolls on now.

[DonRedwood]

22. Here they have to say how much a product costs by unit: oz, sq foot, etc. On the toilet paper

the same company will use sq. foot, sheet, roll for their different sizes. So you can't compare the price of the three products unless you are ready to figure out how many sq. feet = the roll or the yard or the meter, etc.

Sometimes the oz. will be vs. liters vs. gallon. very crazy.

14. Ugh. GP.

I just came out of a GP mill as a contractor about a week ago and thought about making an OP about what a complete and utter shithole it was, and how that's the future of workers under people like the Kochs. The stuff in there is just so utterly fucking unbelievable to someone that hasn't been in one.

[Tsiyu]

16. Do it

KochRoaches HATE the light... so shine some!

Just use enough vague or changed references and descriptions so you don't get into trouble...

[MADem]

15. All of 'em are doing this--we're like Europe now.

A pound of coffee is no longer a pound, a two litre bottle of coke is turning into a 1.5 litre bottle in many markets, the prices stay the same, the contents get smaller.

[DonRedwood]

23. the jello I buy was a six pack...it just turned into a four pack...same price!

[MADem]

26. The Bass-tids~! nt

[Hugabear]

17. I'm imagining Cornholio wandering the halls of Koch headquarters

Butthead: "hehehe...you said Koch"

[etherealtruth]

21. LOL

[HopeHoops]

19. Scott's 1000 sheet rolls - not related to Koch and don't give you dingleberries.

[ohheckyeah]

24. Have you noticed the really narrow

toilet paper being used in public places like restaurants and stores? If it were 1/4" smaller it would be dental floss.

[warrprayer]

25. tp blues

from the tube....
