For your math convenience:
Print this handy, dandy toilet paper conversion table and take it with you shopping next time. You might also want to take your calculator. You might also want to take a baseball bat to hit your head repeatedly. Or you could just use your shoe.
Can I just say…..WHY CHARMIN? Why is it necessary to produce 8 products that are actually just one product in variable sizes? It is like they invented their own world over there at The Charmin and things just got out of control. First they invented the “regular roll”. I may have not done proper research for this ground breaking piece of
So, they just named it. Then they thought…gee, I think it would be great to have something a twice the size, and then two and a half times the size and then FOUR TIMES THE SIZE. Stop the madness Charmin. Next thing we know we will be carting home big wheels of toilet paper the size of truck tires that are 64 times the size of the fictional regular roll.
Then they went on to price each roll differently. Then they went on to package each roll differently. Then they market their product to mommies that are suffering from sleep deprivation and can’t do advanced math in their heads standing in the paper product aisle at Target supervising three children who are independently making their own selections of plates, plastic spoons and cartoon character decorated paper towels while screaming loudly and calling for a game of hide and go seek. OH! And once you do choose your mega package (not to be confused with the mega roll which is 4 times the size of a regular roll)…it WILL NOT FIT IN THE CART. Just carry it under your arm while wrangling the three kids and pushing the cart (do I need to draw a picture?).
Conspiracy?
Let me just add this little tid-bit before you decide…Has anyone ever checked out Charmin’s math? Now, I don’t want the legal team of Charmin descending on the Nirvana, but I am just sayin’…
I personally hold Charmin responsible for clogging up both my toilets repeatedly, again and again, with that super thick, mega-roll nice on the ass but hell on the plumbing bull shit. I’ve switched to something flimsier. I’m no good with the plunger.

Oh, and I’m an Angel Soft girl…
See, once again I’m focused on the fact that Blog Steadman went to Target and bought toilet paper. Can’t even imagine that happening around here. I don’t think DJ could even find Target if he had to.
My good pal is in CA to have baby number three, and her husband just visited her (she’s not due for three more weeks). This means he had the chance to stock up on God-only-knows-what to bring back to Moscow… I could have filled FIVE suitcases with treasures for him to lug here… And what did he bring???!!!
CASES OF CHARMIN!!!!!
We’re no longer in the Soviet Union, people… You don’t need to use newspaper to wipe your bum… (and worry about being deported to Siberia for anti-Communist activity if one of your neighbors claimed you had wiped with a piece of paper with a party leader’s picture on it… No joke).
The allure of Charmin… At any price!
oh you are killing me. how many times have i stared at those big packages of toilet paper and felt completely illiterate. do they really think we care how many rolls equals how many other rolls?
why don’t they just lay it on the line and tell us how many poopie butts each roll will wipe. that’s the real question.
*lol* I go with what’s on sale and I go with the cost-per…but…
YEah, none of it makes sense. What is IS the different between the BASE roll and the ULTRA roll…and why DO we need both?
Sheesh…silly Charmin…
But they got some awesome TP, dudes…
Beware, because being an degreed engineer turned accountant by trade, I have also noticed that MANY stores’ price per (oz, liter, weight, sheet, etc) are INCORRECT. OFTEN! Makes me mad because I am rather, um, frugal? and will buy for the best value. Toilet paper urks me because the super large rolls often don’t fit in the TP holders in our house. They brush against the wall or vanity causing each sheet to tear like in a Rest Area Bathroom.
OK I’m done.
KEEP BELIEVING
The mega rolls don’t fit my tp holder. The roll won’t turn. Which is fine anyways cuz no matter how big of rolls I buy, they disappear at the same rate. Something about a toddler doing the pull-n-flush at a rapid rate…
Too funny–I was just at Target buying what else-Charmin!
Since I have a fourth grader taking Saxon math, I avoid all other math at all costs, or else my head might explode.
