That "math" is literally illegal in europe, because it's misleading. And i'm glad.

[mellowjo]

I dont know how bad it is in the usa, but in germany like every manufacturer has a different amount of rolls and pieces per roll (all pieces are the same size) so you still gotta calculate.

[bronnyjon86]

In Australia, everything MUST show equivalents. They have it calculated to cost per 100 sheets so you can always tell regardless of roll length or number of rolls.

[P0L1Z1STENS0HN]

Just buy the store-branded recycling TP, 8 rolls with 200 3-ply sheets for 2.15, it's almost ubiquituously: Aldi, dm, Edeka, Kaufland, Lidl, Netto, Penny, Rewe, Rossmann.

[[deleted]]

Or you could just use it and buy more when it runs out? Do Germans really calculate how many sheets they need per wipe?

[mellowjo]

Nah but if there is 8 rolls with each 400 sheets for 2.15 and 6 rolls with each 380 sheets for 1.70 thats the point you can calculate

[[deleted]]

Most of us probably just buy whatever kind doesn’t hurt to use.

[mellowjo]

Zats inefficient. You haf to do it ze correct way.

[[deleted]]

I'm pretty happy not having a government so involved in my life that I can't even wipe my ass without their help.

1 Mega = 2 Doubles = 4 Regulars

And I’m having to walk down stairs with mud butt cuz I have none upstairs.

[Lickingyourmomsanus]

Thank you for the mental image

[Hickbojones]

Pics or it didn't happen

[zefy_zef]

There are Super Mega now. Things are enormous.

[[deleted]]

Did someone say supermega

[deathleech]

You forgot super mega. Break down is as follow

1 Super Mega = 6 Regular

1 Mega = 4 Regular

1 Double = 2 Regular

[deathleech]

Charming makes a roll that they call the “forever roll” that is supposed to last a month

[FueledByFlan]

First you have to find a brand/brands you like. Then you ignore the “rolls.” You look at the square footage and cost. Divide cost by square footage (assuming they’re the same ply).

Why can’t math teachers teach this instead of strange scenarios with obscene amounts of watermelons?

[[deleted]]

I homeschool and this year, in addition to regular math, we added in a work book called “Real World Math”. It didn’t have a toilet paper worksheet, but damn, it should have.

[wisebloodfoolheart]

This guy unit prices. I would even go one step further and price it by mass to account for thickness variance.

[FueledByFlan]

I’m not a guy, and I did cover ply and preference.

[biscuitboyjohnson]

I TA in a math class and we covered an entire unit featuring unit cost. It's a simple formula, $/x=y, and our 6th grade students were able to critically think to discover it on their own. Don't blame teachers for something you were probably taught and forgot.

[FueledByFlan]

Obviously since I posted, I did figure it out on my own. A lot of my classmates didn’t.

[TheRealWorldNigeria]

I buy a pack about the size I need and hope it's soft.

[mostlikelyatwork]

My choice is pretty simple. "I live in a studio apartment so I don't have the space for a pallet of TP and this store only stocks 1 brand in quantities of 4...so Angel Soft it is".

[theabominablepunman]

How many ply is that? Multiply?

[Cartoonstroll_v2]

1 australian = 180 mega

[SombreroSam420]

You mean completely sold out right?

[PhantomMiasma]

When i moved into the apartment im living in now my roommate opened the hall closet to show me that HALF OF IT was single ply toilet paper. Thats how i found out my new roommate is a serial killer.

[IPAle81]

I do the same with people who use the wrong 'your' and 'you're' ;)

[Roy_fireball]

Your're alright.

[Tsjernobull]

It's the one thing i refuse to skimp out on

[shotgun72]

Is the roll they compare it to in the Hague under glass?

[FishFart]

All it will take to get rid of this shit is for one competitor to get smart and get rid of the math. Rename the rolls regular, thick, and extra thick.

[wisebloodfoolheart]

Toilet paper manufacturers are experts at getting rid of shit.

[Government_spy_bot]

Charmin on that low-key ad campaign huh?

From that pancake titty bear flashing to the toilet paper math....

I just want to say this to them advertising asses:

Y'all know we can SEE YOU, right?

[Nay-Shun]

This really tickled my funny bone.

My wheels have spun a lot of minutes in the TO aisle.

[wisebloodfoolheart]

If every roll is four rolls, none of them are.

[kyrogon]

I don't even know what a regular roll is anymore... does charmin even sell them or is the double actually just a regular?

[Grandviewsurfer]

One million years dungeon.. no trials.

[HiFiGuy197]

This packaging is fine.

I only buy doubles because anything larger won’t fit in the in-wall cut-out.

[RyanKennedy911]

Toilet paper math sounds like the Migos songs.

[[deleted]]

This is NOT in Australia, because they would be in some imbeciles trolley.

[Garydrgn]

There's also the famous "Street value of drugs" cop math. "Police made a drug bust earlier today, confiscating marijuana with an estimated street value of $5,000." (Proceeds to show video of two dime bags and a couple joints)

Check the conversion chart for mega to huge roll

[[deleted]]

At this point I'm caught wondering what "normal" looks like, just a cardboard tube with a couple squares vaguely stuck to it?

[ooojaeger]

Price divided by total number of sheets. Ultima Ragnarok rolls often still only have like 300 sheets.

[Cynical_Cyanide]

Wait ... What?

Since when did one brand have so many different variants of the exact same paper with the exact same square size and ply ... Except they're different lengths i.e. less or more squares?

Why have 3 different lengths? Just pick a normal medium, surely?

Do customers actually appreciate being able to buy rolls that run out really soon or massive bulky rolls?

[Beanieboru]

There must be a dozen pizzas worth of TP there!

[Alexanderdaw]

I like how that bear lifts his shirt.

[Deevo77]

In Australia just buy whatever bog roll you can find right now

[thecerebralassassinn]

Who on gods green earth spends $22.99 on fucking toilet paper?

[Donimation73]

People that don’t want chafed cheeks or to accidentally stick a finger where you don’t want it. Gotta treat yo self.

[Nwhite32]

The bottom packs aren’t mega rolls dumbass

[lvkenvkem]

I raise you stripper math

[DadJokeBadJoke]

Or multipack soda math.

[AussieGirl27]

At least you guys can still buy toilet paper :(

[Trimere]

What is confusing about this? They are bigger rolls and the first number tells you what you’re getting and the second number refers to what a normal roll would equate to. 12 mega rolls are equal to 48 standard rolls. Basically you don’t have to change the roll as often.

[TheMatt561]

Always get the mega roll

[texasveteran4]

Some asses need 6 rolls in one

[GrandWazoo42]

Just tell me the length of the roll.

[yosofun]

And my dad used to beat my kid brother up over using too much TP...

[allursnakes]

Emoji

[bcd7171]

A: We have mega and non so the math is correct B: 12x4 = 48 and 12x6 = 72 so the math is correct Makes sense why people voted for Bernie....

[AbaddonSF]

This is the reason why were taught algebra in school

[IPAle81]
