Has anyone ever tried to call Greg at 1-667-693-5420 ?
What happened?
I wonder if buying dietary fiber is ACTUALLY worth the money saved in TP.
It’s super expensive too. There are handmade papers from Japan that are less expensive than your average toilet paper.
By volume??? Where are you buying it? Also what’re you eating? Chipotle 24/7?
I have a bidet and my toilet paper budget is literally 1 big Costco size pack per year at ~ $20. I could cut so many expenses before that is a problem spend.
Get it from the grocery store. It’s like $3.50 a square foot or something. Seattle, so it’s expensive. Also, costco toilet paper sucks and no bidet.
Cornholio 2028!
Just use price divided by total sq.ft.
Go by weight. If you have two bundles that have the same number of rolls, the heavier one either has more or thicker squares.
And if they add lead or something else heavy to the packaging? Ha! Checkmate!
Yeah be careful they be cutting the toilet paper with fent out there. Stay safe.

One of the most vivid arithmetic failings displayed by Americans occurred in the early 1980s, when the A&W restaurant chain released a new hamburger to rival the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. With a third-pound of beef, the A&W burger had more meat than the Quarter Pounder; in taste tests, customers preferred A&W’s burger. And it was less expensive. A lavish A&W television and radio marketing campaign cited these benefits. Yet instead of leaping at the great value, customers snubbed it.
Only when the company held customer focus groups did it become clear why. The Third Pounder presented the American public with a test in fractions. And we failed. Misunderstanding the value of one-third, customers believed they were being overcharged. Why, they asked the researchers, should they pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as they did for a quarter-pound of meat at McDonald’s. The “4” in “¼,” larger than the “3” in “⅓,” led them astray.
America: Failing 2nd grade math since the 1980s.
In fairness, the people they surveyed grew up breathing lead. I wonder if a modern audience would handle that test better
I just get my TP for free from the office
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime… that’s why I steal his toilet paper and make it mine.
The one that lists sheets is at least using a verifiable metric. It’s better than the “right rolls of unspecified size are more than 39 different rolls of unspecified size”.
Still silly because no one knows how many sheets they use before changing the roll, but at least it’s reasonable silly.
The label usually says total surface area in the package. The stores near me break the price down to cost per unit of area, as well. This really untangles the 'how much should I pay for a quadrahedroll vs a dodecca butt sphere" worth of paper?
Actually, I have very simple math when it comes to TP. Will it be smooth and soft, and not annoy my ass? If yes = buy. Me and cushelle have a love hate relationship. In that my ass loves it, but my wallet hates its fucking guts.
Until they establish a standardized measurement, and/or someone conducts a scientific mathematical comparison between brands & size claims, it will all be meaningless.
Pretty sure the standard is that 1 ply shit at the office, and every restaurant you ever been to.
This is such bullshit. Pointless manipulation of product offerings to hide the true cost, and thereby manipulate prices. I’ve been doing paper towel math like this for years and it drives me nuts. Grocery stores’ profit model is now almost entirely based on price manipulation and nothing else.
This is all simple, they are all normalized to a standard roll or 1’000 sheets.
The bottom two make sense.
8 super mega = 48 reg.
24 double = 48 regSo 1 super mega = 3 double = 6 reg
1 double is ⅓ super mega or 2 reg 1 reg = ⅙ super mega or ½ doubleBut how many giant rolls is 1 super mega? Is that more or less 4,000 sheets?
I guess $/kg (or any non-metric alternative) doesn’t say much either.
Six times wider than most regular brands.
