Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 2)

I can understand investing a lot of money in something you’re going to keep for a long time and use often, but not something you buy for the express purpose of smearing with shit and flushing away.

An extra $5 or $10 a week for a product which helps to keep a sensitive bit of my anatomy — which has proven to be prone to issues lately — happy and un-irritated is absolutely worth it to me. May you never have to experience this. :wink:

I don’t disagree with your conclusion, but I have to question your premise. How much additional can a good roll of toilet paper cost of the cheap stuff? I’d guess if my wife is out of town, I’d go through a roll or maybe two per month. Not two rolls per week.

I will just say that I go through considerably more than you do. Some of us are on one end of the bell curve on #2 frequency. :wink:

If you ever get hemorrhoids or just want to prevent them, yes, spending a little more is worth it. Not nessesarily top of the line stuff, but not the cheap stuff either.

My workplace buys AngelSoft Professional brand toilet paper. It’s two of the thinnest, least absorbent plies you could imagine, but the more maddening thing is, when you tear it off, the two plies invariably delaminate into two separate plies of of tissue, which must be folded back together for use.

Toilet paper here (Switzerland) is 3-ply, 4-ply, or 5-ply. Currently have 3-ply in the house. Good TP is worth the money.

If the holder is vertical (which is what I meant by sideways, sorry), while it’s true that one side is closer to the wall at any particular moment, that doesn’t affect how the paper comes off. It’s still possible to have a preference for whether it comes off to the right or the left, but it also takes about one second to turn the roll over, as there’s nothing to take apart and reassemble.

Just realized that I voted that I don’t know them all well enough and also a vehement thumbs down on one but wasn’t supposed to do that. I’m going to let it stand, though, because it’s true both that I don’t know them all well enough to say that I love them and that there’s one on the list I can’t stand.

I don’t actively dislike the ones I know, but I don’t love them, either. My least favorite on the list was Dancing Queen, but I wouldn’t say I dislike the song.

Oh heck, yes I do. I dislike anything adjacent to disco, with very few exceptions.

One of my kids finds it endlessly funny how much I hate the song America Pie, partially because it kept playing in random places when we were together.

I couldn’t recall all the songs on the list off the top of my head, but that tends to indicate that none of them were detested enough to generate active dislike.

There were many that I do actively like, but not nearly 100%, so didn’t vote at all.

Right now, the first Blowin’ in the Wind has a 19% vote and the second Blowin’ in the Wind has a 14% vote. I guess the second one is better.

LOL - 96 rolls?
That is quite the haul esp during Covid.

Yeah, the carton was like 2 1/2 feet on a side. Too bad it was awful.

We got terrible weird tiny rolls of 1-ply from China during COVID. We used them, but we weren’t happy. We’re still using folding brown paper towels from that year as well.

I followed the directions and only selected the songs I knew and disliked, but I have to say there were a dozen that I can’t remember ever hearing at all.

Re: waving things, I have done “the wave,” so I checked “other.” I’m not sure what that is waving: the crowd, maybe?

And I’m surprised to see how few people loathe the terrible “God Only Knows” song, which is pretty much all of the worst elements of pop music combined into one neat package.

We had pennants to wave when I was a kid.

However, the person here pictured appears to have the common problem of throwing the sign for “vagina” in ASL.
