I think this is a good time to mention the fact that the USA is the World's
largest producer and consumer of toilet paper. That's right, folks, according
to the figures posted at www.ToiletPaperWorld.com. The $2.4 billion a year
industry owes it's thanks to the American public for using 20,805 sheets per
person per year. It just goes to show you; everything works out in the
end.<VBG>

..and it just has to be Scott Tissue, Mr. Monk K!
Mr. what's his name (what was his name?) could never convince me to buy Charmin! There is more to a roll of Scott than any of its competitors. :o) Do you agree Monk K?

ja--and Scott Tissue is even softer now than it used to be which is of course a must in order for everything to work out in the end as you so nicely put it. :o))

There will never be another tissue in our house. Scott lasts and lasts and
lasts. <G>
But, have you seen the Charmin commercial with the bear in the woods! I

Monk I will go one step farther than Di! Are you suggesting we are "full of it"? LOL!
Probably right.
As to Scott tissue, I buy nothing else. Go to K-or Wal-mart and get it by the dozen. Faye

I guess I'm not that fussy. I haven't used Scott in years, not since Sear's
catalog was a close substitute. <G> Right now in the house I have Soft 'n
Gentle and Angel Soft and sometimes buy Kleenex ripple. Whatever W-Mart has at
the best price.

Which is why Kimberly Clark is such a consistent stock - distasteful as it is,
they have a product which stops/absorbs/cleans the leakage in every orifice of
every body.

Take it from an expert, Charmin Ultra is the best! I've had visitors from
Alaska and Hawaii ask me what brand I use so they could buy it when they got
home.

LOL!! I get your *drift*, Arch. The article also stated that, while Americans
were still using corn-cobs and grape leaves, the French were using lace. Betcha
don't see much of that anymore.<g>

What do you use Scott tissue for...........sand paper ?
I buy toilet paper by the case and one time I bought Scott tissue.
After using one roll, I threw the rest in the trash.
Newspaper would be softer.

Excuse me. Personally, I never cared for that slogan. I have always enjoyed
the sensation of squeezing toilet paper. It reminds me of my first girl-friend.

Recycling Don? :)) I *knew* we 'tree-huggers' would win you over
eventually!

Seriously, when I was in Burma my colleague got the sniffles and ran out of
tissues so resorted to toilet paper.....however, Burma has been stripped of
all it's trees for furniture making thus paper is a rare commodity so she
actually dried off the 'drippy nose' papers for re-use! True story!
Oooops! Hope I haven't offended anyone... I believe the word 'toilet' is
considered a rude word in the US??

Di,

We have had a recycling program in our little city for several years. The
icky garbage is through into landfills and the newspapers, magazines, and
other paper products are sorted from the cans and bottles and are picked up
by another crew. The City makes a little money on it.
