Isn't it the same problem tho, since they can make the sheets smaller and say there's more without actually offering a longer roll?
We need legally defined toilet paper roll standards.
Lets setup some ISO standards for shit wipers.
I would be shocked if there isn't already one. The trick is getting companies to adhere to it.
Helps that they tend to be square-ish, there's a subsection of people who would notice immediately if you can't fold perfect paper cranes from a single sheet while you're pooping.
pretty sure they are rectangles
Oh, totally. It's by no means a good measurement, it's just the only one that's in some way tied to anything tangible. "8=39" doesn't mean anything.
Which matters more total kg or mm^2^ ?
Kg for sure, i wouldn't trust tp with a low cost per mm²
I also don't trust a toilet paper with a low gsm.
Maybe we need both a gsm and total weight labeling.
