At the very beginning of the toilet paper “crisis” in mid-March, Jerry searched on Amazon and ordered twenty rolls of “extra large, super soft” tp. One package of ten rolls arrived yesterday, from China. They are the smallest rolls we’ve ever seen, 4 inches in diameter and are named “SupSoft”. The advertising on the front of each roll says “clean soft and tough comfortable”. For comparison I set a roll on top of one of our usual and customary extra large tp rolls. 😊 We have laughed all day about them, they cost close to $2.00 a roll. We are so thankful the tp crisis is over here, we’ve been able to purchase it in every store for a couple of weeks now. This photo is going in my Covid photo book, I think it will be on the outside back cover.
Oh hilarious, I think by the time this crisis is over we are all going to have some fun stories to tell even though there will be a lot of sad ones too. Your Covid book is a super idea I wish we could all see the finished product what a story it will tell for people in your future
@onewing we have celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and Jerry’s 80th birthday in lockdown, so I thought a photo book was fun but also kind of important since so much has happened in these months. I should be able to do a collage of the finished book when I do it!
Wow what a con....they even look like they could have a bigger hole in the middle too.....extra large loo roles...our seem to be a standard size of & I was surprised at this 4/12 inches so not that much bigger than the Chinese ones. I have never considered the size of a loo toll before!
Haha! That is so funny!
And a photo-book is a great idea! I can even pick pictures from your calendar - Think the black face masks should get a prominent page too!
@louannwarren A great story but at least you weren’t scammed & you actually got some!! You’re right you only discover sometimes once you’ve ordered where your stuff is coming from. Good for a laugh especially because of the subject! !
Definitely "earned" its spot of honor on the back cover - for your enjoyment and ours. Fortunately, we found some of our regular in time (I had just bought a large package before all this started). Another reason to Buy American.
For as long as I can and as often as I can I will refuse to buy any product from China! The last thing their manufacturing inflicted on us was the toxic paint on all those toys and now this virus. Well, at least this shot offers us a little humor on the whole affair. Smile for the day!
HaHa! So funny, LouAnn. I still have not seen any TP at Costco or our local grocery store. It's OK though because we still have plenty and haven't bought any since the middle of March. I don't get the TP hoarding, buying freezers and stocking up on meat, etc. We will survive and will find what we need when we need it...besides, I have lived without meat for 28 years.
hmmm... makes me think i should have ordered some from amazon just so i could've included that in my april challenge. then again, maybe not. the toilet paper available in manila is much bigger than that! i can't get over the name supsoft. 😂 🤣 okay, i'm laughing at my own joke. but it's funnier once it's out of my head!

A great TP story
