I Thought This a Bit Funny

6 years ago

Sam's Club has this toilet paper on sale. I thought it funny this is in part of the description.

What Can I Do with Windsoft Jumbo Toilet Paper?

Although toilet paper is essential in every restroom, it can be useful in other areas as well. For instance, bathroom toilet paper is excellent for teaching children about arts and crafts. Not only can kids color the bulk toilet paper in any way that they please, but you can also hang the final result on the walls as a decoration. Art teachers can show students how to practice painting the paper or teach them how to tie-dye it, which is an enjoyable project that youngsters are bound to remember. Also, you can cut, slice or paste the cardboard core that sits within the toilet paper into a marionette, a butterfly, a zoo animal and more. With a toilet paper roll, you can allow everyone in an art class to let their imagination run wild while they produce their favorite creature.

    don't forget, the kitten can unroll it and drag it into the living room in less than

    2 minutes, all shredded for you.

    Makes you wonder if this toilet paper is like unprinted newspaper! At our local newspaper you can ask if they have any end rolls and they give them to you free. They are good for kids to paint on or to wrap glassware in. Just what I would want hanging from a magnet on my fridge with my child's artwork fluttering each time I opened the fridge door.

    My 7 year old grandson is an artist and he has created some award winning art with toilet paper rolls.

    How "sturdy" is this TP if you can color on it?

    Anything to further marketing of the product, apparently.

    you can use the cardboard center to hold a roll of wrapping paper together. cut it lengthwise and it'll slip right over the roll of wrapping paper and hold it tight.

    you could wrap a roll of tp for your cat for Christmas - double the fun for it!

    Yeah, I am with Elizabeth on this. I have not seen a TP in many years that did not disintegrate as soon as it got damp! Paint TP? No, I don't think so!

    It reminded me of this...and when my son was 2 and ran around the house with the end of the TP in his hand...he thought he was so funny. Looking back-he was!

    Who ever wrote that ad knows very little about how things work. Ever try to color toilet paper with crayons? The paper merely shreds. Its no good for water colors because the water base soaks through and spreads. Tie dye? Maybe if done very gently but try to unfold it after dying. Wet toilet paper clings to itself. Hey, but you can cut toilet paper with those 'kindergarten safety scissors".

    If your toilet paper is an old Sears & Roebuck or Montgomery catalog, or a corn cob, it might withstand the rigors described in the ad.

    Crayons, gals - crayons.

    Oh, right - they exert quite a bit of drag as they move across the paper, don't they?

    I wrote a story here about recycling toilet paper, in the early years of this century.

    I claimed that when I saved dinner napkins and used them in the early days of a headcold, when the more or less continuous discharge was much like water, they'd absorb pretty well as long as one didn't blow ... but when one made the mistake of being so unwise, they'd shatter and spew their contents all over the hand that held them.

    Toilet paper and the facial tissues that come in an oblong box were a little better - but not much.

    The best were paper towels, with pieces left here and there to dry as I travelled in the house, for reuse after they'd dried.

    Later, when a blow produced major and lasting discharge, not permitted to deposit in the toilet - into the compost or garbage, please (unless you don't mind digging up plugged sewage lines).

    I later apologized, for having misled the readers as well as myself by referring to the action as "recycling", when it was really "reuse", as no reprocessing had been involved!

    (For any who hasn't seen it and might like to, search for "First research result ...").
