One roll to rule them all: Charmin's new 'Forever Roll XL' is the size of a small tire and the equivalent of 36 rolls of toilet paper. But you still have to change it when it runs out.

Kim Gilroy ranks changing the toilet paper roll as the most annoying household chore “because it’s the easiest,” she says. “It takes two seconds and no one wants to do it.”

Ms. Gilroy, a fitness coach in Manchester, N.H., for years has nagged her three sons and one daughter, ages 13 to 19, about replacing the roll instead of setting a new roll on top of the empty one. She hung a sign in her family’s main bathroom that reads “Changing toilet paper will not cause brain damage.” Still, empty rolls piled up.

Don’t tell me, she’s got a plan for this, too?

Ok this is random, but aside from being the best laugh I’ve had since finding “FloridaMan”, it’s actually a great example of how companies can be in business a really long time & still be surprised when they really listen to customers. Great CustomerExperience, ProcterGamble!

love it.

Breaking news .

Get a Toto and get smart.

My dog would have a hay day. Please don't.

I can understand with so much 💩 floating around these days !

Basically larger that the average British bathroom. Just don't flush it down the loo upstairs all at once.💩💩💩

Real talk: these large rolls don’t fit on the holders anymore. Stop making them bigger, nobody asked for that. Just bought pack of toilet paper that has to stay on the side until the roll is small enough to fit. 🤦🏻‍♂️

WOW

Someday a truck full of these will crash on a hilltop overlooking a village, sending a hail of murderous bales bounding through the countryside, wiping out everything in their way.

It’s called the Chipotle. Love you chipotle

Really? This 'torments' people?

Triple. Jumbo. Mega. The width of toilet-paper rolls keeps getting bigger. A new one is big enough for a 51 inch waistline.

Use a god damn bidet

Buy a bidet!

Finally. The rolls of TP are getting narrower. Same 'price', but less product. Soon it will be as wide as a spool of thread.

use water first and save paper

Lazy people rule the world

There are now systems that lock people in toilets as a punishment if they use too much toilet paper. Seriously.
