Things are wild right now. I've been zipping around left and right and loving it. While zipping today, I noticed a strange ad in the metro. It's for papier hyg�nique humide. In other words, damp toilet paper. And although my brain is jam-packed with all kinds of other thoughts, I decided to give this ad some of my consideration. Because, really, who the hell wants DAMP toilet paper? What's the point of that? Can't you dampen it yourself?
I suppose that toilet paper is used for other, less damp areas that may be in need of slightly softer, less abrasive tp. But seriously, are our tooshes so freakin' sensitive that we now need lotioned toilet paper? Isn't that just screaming for all kinds of lady problems? And if your ass hurts so much that you need damp toilet paper, isn't that indicative of some other issues at hand?
We all really need to get a grip. And we need to get our priorities straight: 9 times out of ten, the bathrooms at my school don't even have the cardboard-like tush stuff. And 50% of the toilets I come across in France are still of the squatting variety. Let's get the basics down before we move on to lotioned luxuries, shall we?
Ugh.. all the toilets in Shanghai are of the squatting variety and they SMELL. Twas a traumatic experience.
It's not about what we NEED, it's about what they can SELL US.
Haven't you noticed that there aren't new brand names, just new extensions? Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Mini Reece's, Bag o' Reeces, Reece's Stix, etc etc etc.
Same with TP. In the grocery store the other day, I saw a package "Scottie Toilet Paper TO GO": a slightly smaller roll of toilet paper in a plastic thingy. Because you never know when you'll need to have toilet paper with you, right? And so you should buy a pre-packaged tO GO roll!
