Practically the best invention known to mankind

Just when I thought colored toilet paper was dead, The Glow Company has restored my faith there are people in the world who love and care about toilet paper as much as the staff at ToiletPaperWorld.com does.  The Glow Company, a British firm, recently released their new product, “GlowRoll”, which is glow in the dark toilet paper!

This is truly a great, innovative product.  It may be one small product for man, but one huge advancement for mankind! I am jealous ToiletPaperWorld.com didn’t think of this stuff first!  Besides the obvious reason glow in the dark toilet paper is just plain awesome, it has many practical uses as well.  GlowRoll would be convenient for finding your way around a bathroom at night (the product website claims its capable of lighting up an entire bathroom!), camping in the wilderness, or even during power outages.

At around  £5 ($10 USD) a roll, this is definitely not something we would put in our bathrooms on a daily basis, but reserve for using during special occasions or giving as gifts.  Need a wedding gift? I’m sure the bride & groom would be thrilled to get a case of this stuff!

Kudos to The Glow Company for this noteworthy invention!

Looking back into the dark ages, toilet paper has come a long way.  However,  despite some minor changes and product advancements, it thankfully hasn’t changed much over the years.  Sure, Quilted Northern now markets a 3-ply roll and colored toilet paper is rare to come by, but overall, our trusted friend is still the same – soft, square sheets on a roll.

What do you think toilet paper of the future will look like?  Square bunches? Hard and scratchy?

Jeeze, we hope not.  To all those that say change is good – think again on your next trip to the John,

RIP Pink Toilet Paper, Cherished Friend, Companion, and Always There When You Needed It Most; 1950-?

Think about it for a second – When was the last time you reached for some TP and saw anything but the standard white roll?  Probably around the same time tie dyed t-shirts and Birkenstocks were still in style, right?

30 years ago colored toilet paper wasn’t the rarity it is today.  Introduced in the 50’s and popular throughout the 70’s, many manufacturers produced a variety of colors including pink, blue, yellow, lilac, tan, and black.  Homeowners loved matching the color of their toilet paper to the color of their bathrooms (it was the 70’s after all!).  So besides the obvious reason that what was hip in the 70’s isn’t anymore, where did all the colored TP go?

According to the King of Toilet Paper, two major events occurred which  hurt sales and thus led to the downfall of the colored toilet paper reign:
-    Doctors started warning colored toilet paper could lead to skin irritation.  As pretty as we once thought it looked, no one wants to deal with that!
-    Ecologists also began warning the dye in the colored toilet paper rolls was harmful to the environment.

With an increased cost of production (it costs more to produce colored than white toilet paper) and a decrease in sales, manufacturers began to produce less and less.  Up until 5 years ago, Scott was one of the last remaining manufactures to still produce our old friend in beige, blue, and pink.  However, they have since cut production all together.

RIP Colored Toilet Paper – From the bottoms of our bottoms, we thank you for the service you have provided us over the years.  We’ll miss you.
