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

      By volume??? Where are you buying it? Also what’re you eating? Chipotle 24/7?

      I have a bidet and my toilet paper budget is literally 1 big Costco size pack per year at ~ $20. I could cut so many expenses before that is a problem spend.

        Get it from the grocery store. It’s like $3.50 a square foot or something. Seattle, so it’s expensive. Also, costco toilet paper sucks and no bidet.

          The hell it is.

          A 24-pack of Charmin ultra strong is 785 square feet. It cost 50 bucks.

          That’s 6¢ per square foot.

    Go by weight. If you have two bundles that have the same number of rolls, the heavier one either has more or thicker squares.

    People really just need to fix their diet…

    Apparently a two-person household is supposed to be able to burn through one roll a month

    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.

    In Canada at the bottom of the package they will tell you the dimensions of the sheet and sheets per roll or length I can’t remember.

    You still have to do math but the actual numbers are there for you to do it.

    The real answer is just go to Costco and buy one of those giant packs with the massive sheets and don’t think too much about it.

          475 calories

          There’s 2.5 servings per bag, the serving size is listed as 2tbsp, there’s 190 calories in 2tbsp. So calories in the entire bag is just 2.5 * 190 calories

          Not so hard to calculate. It’s still stupid though, that they don’t have to print the values per 100g, as they do in Europe. That makes it really easy to compare two products with different package sizes.

          The value per serving is mostly useless, as a serving is just some made up amount, usually tiny to make the product look healthier. For example, a serving size of crisps could be 20g, which is not even a handful.

              Oz or whatever strange body part comparison you guys prefer would also be fine for me. As long as it’s standardized between products.

              With 100 gramms/millilitres it’s a simple guideline:

              • <100 kcal: probably healthy
              • 100-200 kcal: mostly ok
              • >200 kcal: consume carefully

              Of cause it’s fine to consume oils (~700kcal/100ml) but they shouldn’t be the major part of your meal. And sugary drinks are obviously bad for you, even though they’ve got less than 100kcal/100ml.

    Given the information here, I believe that:

    1 Giant Roll = 2.25+ Rolls = 2250+ Sheets

    1 Double Roll = 2 Rolls = 2000 Sheets

    1 Super Mega Roll = 6 Rolls = 6000 Sheets

    1000 Sheets = 1 Roll = 0.5 Double Roll = 0.444 Giant Roll = 0.166 Super Mega Roll

    1 Super Mega Roll = 2.666 Giant Roll = 3 Double Roll = 6 Roll = 6000 Sheets

        Yes , if you use exactly 1 square each time.

        But someone so enterprising and smart like you probably uses both sides, so 12,000 shits per roll is on the table.

            I used to run a bidet system, but then I found out about xylospongium:

            It’s got slightly different architecture than bidet, and you have to manually compile some of the features that bidetinstall handles automatically, but you gain so much more control over your system. Never going back.

              Get a load of this guy, never used a bidet! /s

              But seriously, there’s many ways to go about it. Some people don’t use anything, some use tp, some bidets blow air, some use a dedicated towel.

                I’ve used a basic add-on version for a toilet, and I actually wiped first, but it evened out, because I didn’t want to get every last particle, just remove the bulk, because I was paranoid about sending bits flying. Of course it also depends on the, uh, consistency.

    The one that lists sheets is at least using a verifiable metric. It’s better than the “right rolls of unspecified size are more than 39 different rolls of unspecified size”.

    Still silly because no one knows how many sheets they use before changing the roll, but at least it’s reasonable silly.

    Every toilet paper related thread ever:

    • Jokes about paper quality

    • Americans describing their upgrade to a bidet like its the second enlightenment

    • Europeans feeling superior that they’ve been using bidets for a couple hundred years

    • The one random Asian trying to figure out where did humanity regress and perma downgrade from water to ass scratch material in the western world

    • No explanation as to how water users seems to magically dry themselves without tp, heat or air, yet watching a new user come out looking like it rained in the bathroom

    And on rare occasions:

    • Westerners describing low pressure water cleaning with your hand like it will give you ebola, despite it being objectively more sanitary than toilet paper, and despite the fact that’s how bidets used to work
