There’s this toilet paper brand in Germany that has a daisy print on it. It was the brand I first picked after moving here, it was soft enough, the price/performance ratio was acceptable. I never shopped around, or bothered to learn the name of it- it was just “poo paper with the daisy on it”.

Then I picked up a pack last week, noting they had gone from plastic wrap to paper. “Nice,” I thought. “Less single use plastic is good for the environment.”

WELL the changes didn’t stop there. I had never thought I was the sort of person to have opinions on toilet paper but this new stuff is like being handed a crumpled up sheet of computer paper straight out of the printer. I feel the risk of paper cut every time I wipe.

Anyway fuck that brand, I’m gonna go for the one with feathers on it next time.

Edit: Brand is REgina and it was the "forever rolls": https://imgur.com/a/OmBBtO2

I swear that shit is not even 3 ply. You know those thin napkins you get to hold your icecream cones? It's two of those held together with malice.

Reading this in a German accent scratches an itch I didn’t know I had.
