Friend Kevin, at work in Houston while his home is still without power, sent me this article stating, “Never again will I ask what exactly do people do in Wisconsin.”
Yes, there is such a thing as a toilet-paper researcher. And a team of them at Georgia Pacific’s Innovation Institute in Neenah has come up with a three-ply version of its Quilted Northern product.
The new product will be launched Monday. The company touts the toilet tissue as “ultra-soft” and says it plans to market the product to women 45 and older who view their bathroom as a “sanctuary for quality time.”
If you think this is funny, the article’s comments section is the real bomb.
As a woman, ahem, 45 & older, I can speak to, er, quality time. Let’s just say that as time marches on, more and more, it’s the little things. At least that’s my experience.
I spoke with my sister in Houston this morning. She’s a university professor there. Her university is closed until Monday. She confessed to be greatly enjoying her little break from work and electricity. She’s been cleaning and reading, doing things that she would not have otherwise gotten done.
