"Toilet paper Tuesday" mad me laugh. Can that be a thing from now on?

I cannot imagine buying one roll of it at a time. We have four adults in the house (three of which are women), we buy TP at Costco! Hell, even when it was just my boyfriend and I we'd get bigger things of it from Trader Joe's.

ETA: What the hell does "Peculiarly adapted to the needs of women of intuitive daintiness" even mean?

If you don't want your crotch to stink, wipe yourself with their toilet paper. Also, it might suggest when women are menstruating, they might appreciate it that they can flush all the mess.

Being male, I just grab a package of toilet paper from the shelf and put it in the cart when I'm at the store. Now I wonder if I'm missing out on the deep, thoughtful experience women apparently have when they spend hours scrutinizing bathroom tissue to find just the brand with highest levels of elegance and refinement.

that's not what I'm doing when I spend 5 minutes in that aisle, rather I'm trying to calculate what has the cheapest price per sheet without dipping below a certain quality threshold.

Bingo, but if I have the cash I try to spring for the recycled TP instead of the virgin forests TP.

I just get the big pack of TP with the pictures of cute puppies on the packaging.

You really are missing out. Buying toilet paper should be an intensive, analytical process in which you evaluate elegance, strength, softness, price, appearance, pattern, MPG and manufacturer's warranty. Or you could be a woman and just "sense it immediately."

'Toilet Paper Sense' seems like one of the less useful superhero powers.

By day, mild-mannered grocery store manager Mr. Whipple....by night, he's Char-Man! The newest member of the Avengers!

Right, because we women like to spend hours discussing anything and everything that comes into contact with our va-jay-jays! ;)

Meh. Mostly I get whatever is on sale that I also have a coupon for. I'm not an extreme couponer by any means, but I do tend to stockpile the TP when I can.

"Ask your doctor." "No conversation." Both of these lines struck me as odd. Nevertheless, a nice ad; good artwork and inoffensive.

"No conversation" means "In the days before you could get your groceries yourself and had to ask the clerk to fetch anything, you didn't have to spend 20 minutes blushing and admitting to the guy at the counter that you have a bathroom and sometimes need to use it".

Pretty ad. All the comments are so witty...made me laugh!

Gertrude, my dear, I am so delighted that you could join me for tea today. It's so nice to get a break from the children. I am really looking forward to some pleasant and intelligent adult conversation for a change.

Now tell me, what do you use to wipe the poopy poo off your bummy bum bump?
