I went to two super markets looking for toilet paper and naturally the shelves were bare. Right next to the empty shelves were full supplies of Kleenex and other facial tissues.
Not that I don’t think people are overreacting here, but I question the validity of the calculations from this site. With six children in my home (four females total), we go through a lot of TP. A Costco pack lasts us a month, so I picked up two packs several weeks ago to last us two months. This site is based upon the faulty assumption that these two dudes are typical of everyone’s use. It’s BS.
>>First, go to the website, then users can enter how many rolls of toilet paper they have
OPSEC, people.. OPSEC.
I’m waiting for the environmental tree huggers to tell us how we can make toilet paper last twice as long and save the trees at the same time, by just remembering to use both sides.
If it doesn't ask how many sheets you use per dump, it is useless. Is there a standard number? No. It depends upon the squishiness or greasiness of the dump. A wet one needs more than a dryer one.
Also, there is a different time between dumps for most people.
Useless calculator. Rolls vary wildly in how much they have in them. Also, who’s making those toilet visits? Men? Women? What is the business being conducted, particularly for the men?
I don’t agree with their math. Rolls of single-sheet last longer than luxury double-sheet.
YMMV
Don’t buy on line. If you do, make sure you are buying direct from a store or the maker. Whats going on is hoarders are selling on Amazon and ebay at greatly marketed up prices. Many times the market up is simply the shipping costs. These guys cause a run then they sell you the paper at twice the cost. It should never be over $1.00 per roll including shipping. Bad stuff is $0.50 a roll.
Walmart and Costco are already trying to foil them by rejecting returns. These people cause the supply problem. Then when they can’t sell anymore over priced toilet paper. They try to return it to the stores. But this time the stores won’t let them. So don’t buy from Amazon or ebay.
I’m still trying to figure out how many licks does it take to get to the middle of a Tootsie Pop.
