The Scott tissue comparison from 2006 to 2022 is truly shocking. I would like to see more such comparisons done with other products. I have noticed that facial tissues keep shrinking - less tissues in the box but the box stays the same size.

In spite of the shrinkage I still use Scott because with septic I can't use the bulkier rolls. We just use more of it. Many of those 2 and 3 ply rolls have less than 500 sheets per roll. Some more like 300. In order to make a roll last more than a few days you'd have to use only a few squares at a time which cancels out any benefit you're getting from the thicker sheets. And in that case it's not any more sanitary.
