Worse toilet paper ever

When we go to the grocery store these days, it isn't the same as it was seemingly a year ago, meaning February. Then you could take your time, check out sale items, sort of plan your meals and think about what your pantry needed while you ambled down the grocery aisles. Now we go to the market with a list, a list that we follow so we can get out of the market as quickly as possible and rip the mask off our faces.  Today when we amble rush down the aisles, we still pick up a few things for the pantry, items not on the list, because we are all a bit nervous about the grocery supply chain failing in the next few months. (Be honest, we all worry a little that shelves will be empty come November 1st.) So we grab things we know we will need in the future: tuna, shampoo, canned tomatoes, peanut butter, flour, toilet paper, etc.

When I was in the grocery store five days ago I picked up a six-pack of toilet paper. It looked fine, looked nice and soft and cushy.  But surprise!  Worse. Toilet. Paper. EVER!

This stuff is thinner than tissue paper. It's thinner than a baby's eyelash. If you want to blow your nose with this stuff, it takes about six layers and even a small sneeze will blow a hole in those six layers. I don't even want to talk about using it in serious toilet maneuvers.  It's like air disguised as a paper product. Thank goodness no one other than me has to use it because its mere existence embarrasses me.  But I have it, so I need to use it, and use it up as quickly as possible. 

Thank goodness there aren't too many products that are as disappointing as this stupid TP.  Even if one buys an off-brand jar of peanut butter, it's never going to be as weak and lame as this stuff. And if it is, you can make cookies out of it. There ain't nothing to do with this four-molecule toilet paper junk.  Just saying..... buyer beware.  Or buyer be not fooled by price.  Go for the good stuff, your tush will thank you.

Happy shopping!

  1. Can totally relate to your aggravating/amusing/mistake of a purchase. Great choice of words. I appreciate the smile, couldn't wipe it off my face. 🤭
