Today's post has been inspired by The Farmers Wife. She was explaining how her husband has issues with the amount of toilet paper on hand at any given moment and how she buys in bulk to supply that demand.
That brought to mind the burning question I've had for many years now. A question that has led me down many store aisles, kept me up late at night and has been the topic of many Google online searches.
What ever happened to scented and colored toilet paper?
You can no longer coordinate your bathroom to your tissue. No more delicate prints to tie in the wallpaper to the bath mat. No more comforting smell as the roll unwinds one sweet smelling square at a time.
WHAT IS WITH THAT!
What does this say about us as a society? Have we become nothing more than mere savages?
No longer concerned about the one item that is so personal and self defining?
Also, it used to be when you walked into the bathroom there would always be a roll discreetly hidden on the back of the tank. It may have been a fancy lady holding a roll under her skirt or maybe even an obtrusive octopus, but by God you knew you were covered. No rummaging through the cupboards on the other side of the room, no searching under the sink, it was just there and knowing that was enough.
I say it's time to take back the bathroom.
One house at a time all across this great land.
Do your part by beautifying this most important of all rooms, make your guests feel welcome with small soaps and towels. Start a movement one store at a time by demanding pretty prints and springtime fresh scents.
We can do it if we all work together.
*UPDATE*
Scargoson say's it's all due to Lady parts and douche.
