It's super expensive too. There are handmade papers from Japan that are less expensive than your average toilet paper.

Has anyone ever tried to call Greg at 1-667-693-5420 ?

What happened?

Cornholio 2028!

The bottom two make sense.

8 super mega = 48 reg.
24 double = 48 reg

So 1 super mega = 3 double = 6 reg
1 double is ⅓ super mega or 2 reg 1 reg = ⅙ super mega or ½ double

But how many giant rolls is 1 super mega? Is that more or less 4,000 sheets?

I guess $/kg (or any non-metric alternative) doesn't say much either.

That's usually what I use my toilet paper for

I switched to Bamboo toilet paper. Renewable, saves old growth trees, and when bought in bulk online is as cheap as Walmart.

I know harder math. Try to figure out how many calories are in microwave popcorn.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Well, how many teaspoons in a cup?

That seems very straightforward, where is the confusion?

Six times wider than most regular brands.

I wonder if buying dietary fiber is ACTUALLY worth the money saved in TP.

Until they establish a standardized measurement, and/or someone conducts a scientific mathematical comparison between brands & size claims, it will all be meaningless.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure the standard is that 1 ply shit at the office, and every restaurant you ever been to.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Just use price divided by total sq.ft.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This is all simple, they are all normalized to a standard roll or 1'000 sheets.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

And even individual squares can be larger or smaller than other brands, leading to rolls with more or fewer squares for the same length.

Honestly, it needs to be in the law that any TP needs to specify the number of square meters of TP on the packaging, so that stores - if they post comparison ratios on the price tags - can give a price per square metre for people to compare with.
