In France I spotted 'training toilet rolls' for youngsters with the sheets being numbered in blocks of four: 1-4 i.e. it encouraged the use of four sheets at a time. I am still bemused that a company felt that there was a need for such stuff and that there was a market for it.
My brother lives in Michigan and from the amount of food he eats I'd say that that's a conservative number.
Saw something on this on "Dom Jolly's Happy Hour" They were saying that Americans tend to "scrumple" where europeans fold, hence using less paper.
In the Army, you are issued with one piece of bog paper. A 1-in square is removed from the centre. Don't throw away the removed piece. Poke middle finger throught hole and do the necessary. Fold paper aound finger, clean and throw away. The 1-in square of paper? Fold into four and with resulting sharp point, clean finger nail. Job done.
And here's the method being demonstrated! Safe for the squeamish! View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMVv8WmIOqU
Not that I am a vegetarian, but given the amount of red meat the Americans allegedly eat, I am suprised they go daily. Or is this an average calculated on the amount they use during their single weekly visit? My apologies to our American cousins.
