Facial Quality
When I went to the bathroom just now, there were two stacks of boxes outside the door, obviously for restocking. One was paper towels. The other was:
Facial Quality Bathroom Tissue
Wha-huh????
Okay, I'm assuming that Bathroom Tissue is what they call toilet paper in polite circles. Because paper towels are taken care of in the other stack of boxes, and there's no kleenex in the bathroom. One can only conclude that Bathroom Tissue is what we all use to wipe our hoo-has and/or sphincters.
So.
Why use the qualifier Facial Quality???
I don't want to think about using something on my butt that I'd use on my face, or vice-versa! It's all so weird! Like, this is their way of saying -- Soft enough for your face, but made for your ass? That's a terrible marketing idea!
Especially when you consider that their so-called Facial Quality Bathroom Tissue is barely preferrable to drip-drying. I gently exfoliate my face in the shower every morning; I'd never let that burlap near my face.
Yes, these are the things I think about while I pee.
(I really should make a new Category called Potty Talk or something; it's such a common topic with me.)
