Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Is it just me, or does anybody else get annoyed that you simply can't buy regular paper towels? I like a standard, (what they're now calling "full") sheet. I shouldn't have to watch where the dang thing decides to tear so that I can get a whole sheet. What say you, and what else ya' got?

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I like being able to tear off a half sheet of paper towel. Not toilet paper though! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 IMHO, you use more with the half sheet rolls because a half sheet is often not enough where a full sheet would be - clever scam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I like the half sheets. I don't like the quarter sheets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 What irks me with them now, is the rolls are larger and don't fit in a standard holder until you use a bunch. I do prefer the half sheet perforations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I go through a huge amount of these every month with all the lodge meals I do. I much prefer the half sheet... much less waste for the jobs I need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I prefer the 'select a size' sheets. Usually use the 1/2 size sheet but like the ability to opt for a full sheet or 1.5 sheets. I buy the Sams Club brand of paper towels with 'select a size'. I used to buy Bounty but got tired of wasting 3 or 4 full size sheets trying to get the roll started due to Bounty's gratuitous use of glue on the first few sheet and last sheets...and the fact that the Sams towels are actually better for my uses.

Just have to look carefully at what's on the shelf. My complaint is sizes. I live alone and almost everything comes in large, family, gigantic, and humongous sizes. Some doesn't keep well, almost none fits my tiny little pantry closet, and I throw away lot because I just don't want to keep it around any more.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 My wife bought paper towels but did not notice the perforations for quarter or half sheets. For a while she just thought she was tearing the partial sheets off really straight on her own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Half sheets do it for me. Besides I got the pack for free four years ago and I still have half the rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 In my house in Oregon I had two paper towel mounted dispensers. One for full sheets one for half. In SoCal I had two tabletop towel rollers for each. Here in WV I literally do not have the room for storage of large packs of paper towels we get at Sam’s Club so we just use the half sheet rolls and I just have to be careful when tearing them.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 My helper had a helper/trainee today. He is the epitome of “why use one when four will do.” Forget half sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Okay. Here's another one: Has anybody else noticed that the toilet paper has gotten narrower by about 3/4 of an inch over the last several years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 No, the ones I use take the same amount of space on the holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's another one: Has anybody else noticed that the toilet paper has gotten narrower by about 3/4 of an inch over the last several years? Yes. I buy POM brand, at Sam's. HeIT comes in a big box and each roll ofIS individually wrapped. I threw a couple of rolls in the truck. Just in case. Then one day I discovered that I was out of toilet paper. Had none in the house. Fortunately I had these two rolls out ofIN the truck. I go out and bring them in, put one in the medicine cabinet and unwrap the other one and use it. The next day I go to Sam's and buy another box. I open the box and take three or four rolls back to the bathroom to put in the medicine cabinet. And I noticed that the new stuff is shorter than that old roll, that had been in the truck for a couple of years.

A wife tells her husband that she wants to have breast enlargement surgery. The husband, knowing that the surgery is not cheap, tells his wife that another method of breast enlargement is to take a wad of toilet paper and rub it between her breasts for 6 months. At the end of 6 months, she tells her husband that she doesn't think that the toilet paper method is working. He says "I don't know why not, it worked on your a**." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, I'm sure that it YEARS to work on her a**. 6 months just isn't long enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
