Toilet paper ramblings ahead!  So, when I moved to this apartment back in 2014, I went to the local grocery store and picked some toilet paper. (It was Cottonelle.) I didn’t worry too much about it, because I figured if I didn’t like it, I’d just get something else next time.  But it was fine.  Unobjectionable.  And so passed five-plus years.

But with ::gestures at 2020:: all of this, I just bought what happened to be in stock last time I needed toilet paper. (It was Charmin.)

(I have always felt somewhat negatively towards Charmin, because the ads with the bears creep me out? Like, why are the bears using toilet paper? What are they doing with it afterwards?? If they feel embarrassed about pooping out in the open, why are they naked???)

ANYWAY. Here’s the thing: Charmin is actually So Much Better!  What in the world are they doing to it to make it so soft?  Do I want to know?

(I have now looked it up. Presumably it’s the vaguely-labeled “conditioners,” which are “added to improve the overall experience of the product.”)

Hee! Someone I know made a speech at her wedding comparing dating her new husband (after all her previous boyfriends) to discovering really good toilet paper. (I wasn't at the wedding; this is hearsay.)
