Americans use twice as much toilet paper as Europeans

Wednesday Jul 11, 2007

OK, I couldn't resist posting this CNN soundbyte "Americans use twice as much toilet paper as Europeans" (says the director of the washroom business at the company referenced in the article) as my headline to this posting.  Hilarious.  CNN should have made it their headline too, IMHO.  That's the news, after all.

Admittedly their headline isn't so bad though:  "Machine spits out 5 sheets of toilet paper"

Apparently research also shows that Americans 'scrumple' their toilet paper prior to using it, whilst in the UK (at least) the paper is 'folded' prior to it being used.

Nice to know - or not...
