1/2" difference.....
 
A bit of trivia.....the other day one of my bathrooms needed a sully of tp......so I got a few rolls from stash. These were the "new" mega rolls.. On the dispenser was the remnants of a "regular" roll. When I was replacing, I looked at the actual tissue, and thought, hmm....one looks a bit narrower than the other...so I did a comparison. Sure enough! The regular roll's paper width is almost 1/2" wider than the new "mega" roll. Don't remember which brands I was comparing, if that makes a difference, don't know, but it was an interesting moment.........so here again we have a bit less of product.

I became aware of this about a year ago. All brands have gone smaller
Also some newspapers.

I hate using newspapers. Too scratchy.

I'm convinced that the "mega" means mega profits not size for the company!

Wasn't the Sears Catalogue printed on coated paper? Ouch!! That must have hurt!! Non-absorbent, too. Yikes!

When I had my first experience with an outhouse nobody told me NOT to use the shiny pages with pictures. Nobody told me to wrinkle up the page first. It's a wonder I didn't break my arm when it slid up to my waist in the back or have blood loss from the paper cuts.:mad:

OMG!! you guys are too gross, funny but gross.

I prefer my TP soft and fluffy, that Scott brand is like what they use at rest stops.

Try a catalog, Sears
