What qualifies something to be “Heavy Duty”???
Is there some kind of measurement for something to be Heavy Duty.
Geez I thought by now I’d get an answer by a Straight Doper
Just a shot in the dark…
Maybe it has something to do with things that are designed for big (heavy) jobs (duties).
I know what you mean, siva. I think you’re asking if there is some sort of official scale that a product has to meet to qualify as “heavy duty”. Personally, I doubt it. The term is applied to everything from pickup trucks to paper towels. I’d say it’s just one of those commercial/packaging catch phrases that can be applied pretty much willy-nilly.
On a side note, I’d love to see someone label toilet paper as “heavy duty”. A company with that kind of a sense of humor would get my hard-earned dollars.
When someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles to frown. But it takes only 4 muscles to extend your arm and whack them in the head.
Actually there is a toilet paper maker that claims they have less lint
There is no such thing as “Toilet Paper”.
It is “Bathroom Tissue”.
And I always wondered if they expected you to use **one[/] square at a time?
“I drive way too fast to worry about my cholesterol.”
Well, if you see a very large dog with a sign on his rear end that says HEAVY DUTY. . .stand aside.
There must be a good response to that, but I just used a whole roll. . .and I’m too completely wiped out to think of it.
