One-Sheet TP?

 

 

Should I just be happy with the fact that this isn’t pink PQ (papier cul / toilet paper) that we usually see stocked along the aisles in French supermarkets? Sorry, no. Some marketing executive okayed the copy on this toilet paper packaging, and I have issues with it, namely, that it’s called “Just 1″ because “1 piece is enough.” (ok, literally: 1 can suffice.)

This is baffling. Yea, it’s super epais (super thick) and all but still. On what planet does one square of toilet paper suffice??

    Hi
    I have almost finished reading Almost french by Sarah Turnbull, I love France and have spent many happy weeks in Paris. However you look at it, the French are not like us (Anglo Saxons) and I guess this is just a small example. One sheet might be enough if I was cleaning my spectacles, but really I would not want to imagine any other single sheet usage.
