Well, I see that Charmin is still attracting weirdos whose
fetish it is to rub toilet paper all over their face in ecstasy. Yes, a big
blue papa bear is in the bathroom, rubbing the toilet paper on his face, when
his wife henpecks him about using less toilet paper. (I think she’s on to him
about the toilet paper fetish, and based upon his reaction, I’d say he knows
he’s busted.) And then the picture cuts to two stacks of toilet paper, showing
how much fuller and more cushiony the Charmin Extra Soft is compared to some
lousy budget brand, which means you can use four times less! But what they
don’t tell you is that in these multi packs they’re selling these days, you
have no choice but to use four times less, because the size of the rolls (and
the number of sheets per roll) is far, far less than other brands of toilet
paper. (I know because I have bought it before, and the rolls are pretty paltry
and run out quickly as compared to other brands. But the paper itself is pretty
good. If only they made the rolls of an adequate size.)
Here’s the charming charlatan Charmin commercial (Actually,
this isn’t the one I’m writing about, which I couldn’t find, but this one deals
with the same issue of using four times less):
