My fascination with charming toilet papers started when my daughter was two years old. We lived in San Lorenzo, California for several months and our favorite grocery was Lucky. One time I was picking up some supplies when I saw white toilet papers with cute doggie prints stack on the topmost shelf. I grabbed one pack of 6 and brought them home to the Philippines. My daughter loved it so much. I did too.
We visited the US after two years and one of the things that excited me was to be able to get more of those toilet papers but they were gone. Since then, every time I came back to Lucky or to any supermarket, I looked for those printed toilet papers but there was never more. They were gone for good. I even tried to contact the company that made them. The brand was Charmin, an American brand manufactured by Procter and Gamble.
I didn’t have a picture of those prints. Thirty years to this day, I never stop wishing that one day P&G would decide to bring those back.
When we went to a supermarket somewhere near Cape Town three and a half years ago, the only thing I bought was a pack of printed toilet papers. I overheard my husband telling my daughter about it. He was visibly irritated. I couldn’t blame him, the toilet rolls were bulky.
This makes me happy. It takes a few dollars to give me a few minutes of hype.
It’s not only pretty, but it can also keep you busy trying to solve mathematical formulas and enhance your IQ while you poop.
sabi nga ng asawa ko ” Only Charmin touches my b**t” LOL
