Turns out, I’m something of an expert
The picture is from a blog post from March, 2009 about toilet paper hoarding. As you can see, our brand of choice in 2009 was Velvet – that’s the one with the creepy little-boy-in-a-suit mascot. Yeah, I posted about him, too. Also, ecologically responsible toilet paper.
And don’t get me started on the number of times I’ve posted about toilets.
Let’s face it: I’m a sophisticate.
Anyway, I went looking down back in the Museum of Toilet Paper, where there are old packets of Andrex stashed. No, they did NOT used emboss puppies on the product. I was sure I would have noticed that.

So, instead of a wine cellar, Badger House has a toilet paper room?
“Ah, yes, the 2005 triple ply Velvet, that was a really good year. White, scented with hints of rosewater and cypress with a smooth soft finish.”

A toilet paper company could probably turn a nice profit selling paper with the embossed faces of a few select politicians. I’d pay a bit extra for Xi Jinping, or perhaps Justin Turdeau¹. But I’d be afraid Nicolás Maduro would try to nationalize my ass.
1. That’s not a typo.

We’ve bought toilet tissue by the case for decades (because JavaMan worked in the janitorial/custodial supplies industry), so we had just gone into a case of 90 rolls when the shortages hit, and last week he divided the remaining dozen rolls among the three potty storage cabinets. Plus JavaMan bought another case a few weeks ago from the company he used to work for—where they still give him employee pricing 🙂
But we don’t have the room to buy cases of paper towels and dinner napkins like we used to do. Man it kills me to pay retail for paper towels!
