But now that I've found your site, I'm glad to know there is someone else out there as observant as myself. It is pretty sad commentary when you find yourself needing to study the differences of the 1-ply versus the 2-ply, how many sheets on a "double roll", and the height of the roll of toilet paper. While I prefer Charmin, I'm sufficiently satisfied with the Kirkland brand, 36 roll package at Costco. Life is way to short to spend it counting sheets of TP. Want to know my current beef? Laundry soap. The newer 2X or 3X strength in the smaller bottles. While they are much easier to lift and store on your shelf, they are not well marked as to the amount to use. So when my husband, bless his heart, does laundry, he uses a full lid full...and the lid sizes don't change. So my bottle of detergent never last the number of loads it claims to provide. For those of us with "older" eyes, even finding the line to use on the lid is extremely difficult. Oh, and ice cream at my store has gone down to 1.5 quarts. Maybe it's time to go back to Baskin Robbins...they aren't so overpriced anymore!
