A January 2014 TP experiment


One day in January we decided to test to see which type of TP was strongest:  the expensive, thick kind or the cheap thin one.  I figured it would obviously be the thickest brand, but I was WRONG!  We even tried our experiment with a fast food napkin, figuring that surely it wouldn't last long.  This video shows that part of the experiment.  It lasted much longer (wet and holding a few pennies) than both the expensive TP and the cheap TP.  So, that cushy three-ply TP might be soft, but it's not as strong as you might think--at least not once it's wet.  It's probably because you want the TP to break down fast when it hits your septic tank, so the manufacturers have to strike a balance.

Anyway, there is a short write-up of this in our portfolio, but Suzi really wanted to make a video to share.  Remember, kids:  "You can do this at home with sunglasses.  If you have sunglasses."
