I noticed on their webpage that they boldly state: "Competitively priced with supermarket rolls..."<br /><br />Well, I guess that's a challenge, as we roll with supermarket rolls around these parts. So, I did a little figurin'. Uh, they're right, unless my math skills have deteriorated as badly as my memory. WGAC -- .0027 per sheet. The Jewel store brand, regular price -- .0026.<br /><br />I don't know where you get your Charmin, Neil, but at Amazon a huge package comes out to .0038, at the moment. The Charmin they sell at Costco is more expensive than that, per sheet. This does not factor in the fact that the WGAC is 3-ply, which theoretically makes it an even better deal, FWIW. <br /><br />And I've wasted all my time for this comment on that, so I'll just note that, while this seems like a swell company, I find the wrappers annoying, myself.

I wrote a paper about the toilets of Europe at the end of my semester in London and praised his contributions to modern sanitation. And yes, I submitted it rolled on a cardboard tube.
