WARNING!: Before you read this entry, please take a moment to yourself to remember that I have no shame. So if pooping, especially females in the act of the blasphemous act, bothers you, DO NOT PROCEED. :)
ANYWAY. It's my day off, and I'm home alone cause Drew's at work. Spent the majority of the day till now in bed with Isabella watching YouTube videos on my iPhone because, and I'll be honest, I've got some God-awful cramps.
Finally I decide that I can make it to the bathroom and I'm sparing details here because, honestly, it's groundbreaking enough that I'm female and admit to pooping. Seriously. At any rate, eventually the deed is done and it comes to be time for part B: wiping. Dilemma: out of TP on the roll. I reach over into the well-placed (by me) basket with a pack of Publix "bathroom tissue". Refill, complete the task, wash hands and then leave the bathro- wait, what the hell is written on the back of this pack? It amused me, so I figured I'd share:
SUPER SOFT
unscented bathroom tissue
Introduced to the U.S. in the mid-19th century, bathroom tissue became accepted when indoor plumbing was introduced. As late as the 1930s it was still being advertised as "splinter-free"- so much for those "good old days".
Today you can depend on Publix Bathroom Tissue to be cloud-soft, and still strong and absorbent.
Let's end the debate about the correct way to place bathroom tissue on the roll: Offer the user a tissue by placing the free end away from the wall. It's easier to grab and makes a much nicer presentation-my, how far we've come!
WTF, mate? Perhaps I'll have to read random products more often. Who knows what little tid-bits I could learn from products' wrapping. Next, the toothbrush!
