TP

[spinbaby]

This is a picture of a new roll of name-brand toilet paper and a partial roll of older toilet paper, both on a holder made in the 50s. What do you notice?

1. Smaller packaging

... they did it to beer bottles too. That one I got pissed about.

4. Bacon

Ain’t a lb anymore, 12 oz. happened a long time ago but I am still pissed. Lol!

[Bayard]

2. The pink tile?

[spinbaby]

11. It is nice tile

We saved as much as we could when we remodeled the bathroom.

13. I had pink tile in a house that i bought once....

It was mixed with equal parts of purple.... lovely. Needless to say I got rid of it.

3. Shrinkage

Must be tRump brand tp...

5. I have been bitching for years about how the rolls are narrower. Note that since...

the sheets are square, you can still get 1,000 sheets of Marcal, but smaller ones.

6. The rolls are more narrow, and the TP is the wrong way on the holder.

[mr_lebowski]

10. YES ... the roll is the wrong way (nt)

7. I have been complaining about this for years

used to only be able to stack rolls 2 high in cupboard by toilet, now I can do 3 and even wedge some on top of those if I squeeze them a bit flat.

also check out diameters of the cardboard tubes if ya happen to have any old crafts from kids a decade or so ago

14. The cardboard tubes are flimsier, too

I understand that they are trying to save trees, but it makes them less useful if you have a re-use for them.

My husband likes to store extension cords in toilet paper and paper towel tubes. Now the tubes are too flimsy to put any pressure on from inside so as soon as he tries to shove the folded up cord into one. Some of the old ones we have are really sturdy and have lasted decades. The new ones aren't even good for one use.

8. I have that same size of bathroom tile but the color is what I call 'Institutional Green'

The house was built in the mid 60's. I'm trying to come up with an economic way to update it.

Oh, and the toilet paper is much narrower. I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm irked!!!

9. Long ago ...

A gallon of ice cream became 3 quarts.

[Fla Dem]

12. Every thing has shrunk'

A gallon or qiart of ice cream are no longer a gallon or quart. Less in the same size container by 2-4 oz.,

Same with canned goods. A can of corn or peaches, etc used to be 16oz (1 lb). Now they're 14 oz or less. Even though manufactures, suppliers continue to raise prices, the size of the product continues to shrink.

I think they don't think we notice.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Smaller roll. It's happening to everything.

I notice it with cereal, especially. Same price, less product. It's the American way. Screw the consumer because we are sheep.

[targetpractice]

17. I first noticed this with cereal year ago, too...

Reduce the volume per package by 10% = Profit, profit, profit.

16. Some monster loaded the TP under not over...

...And, peoples' ass cracks must be getting narrower.

19. Glad to see you have the roll on in the correct direction.
