ANY OTHER INFO:
I was especially intrigued by the diagram of Charmin's "Pillows of Softness," and "Channels of Strength," (canales de resistencia). Indeed, the surface is subtly imprinted with bumps and channels, as well as a conservative floral pattern.

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:
A good looking and feeling product. Nothing special in any way, but it does its job. A good "blue collar" T.P., for the working man. Or woman. Also good for our Spanish-speaking friends, because the packaging displays English AND Spanish text.
SUBJECTIVE REVIEW:
I'm relatively pleased with this product. When I was first introduced to the product, I came face-to-face with the disembodied head of a blond-haired, blue-eyed baby staring back at me from the plastic packaging. Immediately I asked myself, "Is this T.P. for baby Nazis?" Or is it MADE by baby Nazis?! I'm not sure how many employees of Proctor and Gamble are baby Nazis, and I certainly don't agree with their ideology -- but I figured I'd give their T.P. a shot.
Skeptical of the 1-ply, but enticed by the fact that it was on sale at K-Mart, I purchased the giant plastic-wrapped, 24-roll bohemoth. Being a man without a vagina, I didn't feel the need to have extra softness or woodland scents as part of my T.P. arsenal, and I thought to myself, "This is a good looking package of working-man ass-wipes. This is exactly what I need."
24 rolls was a long term investment, but I'm quite pleased to say that I chose wisely--Charmin is a quality product. I eat a lot of spicy food, and the "pillows of softness and channels of strength" have done their job well. I also have the peace of mind that it is safe for my septic system. Try it yourself.
Sure, it would be nice to have another ply, some extra cushioning, or a less rippage between sheets, but hey -- I'm a working man. I'll buy the nice stuff when I retire. Or grow a vagina. Whichever comes first.
