As one retailer's website shows, But it doesn't stop there. As The Shit Volcano recently mentioned, we are witnessing the return of colored toilet paper [6].
I remember this stuff from when I was a kid. In fact, we had what we called The Orange Bathroom, complete with orange toilet paper! I recall that, as time went on, my mom had trouble finding the paper; so when she did she'd buy TONS of it, knowing it would eventually go the way of cyclamates. During it's heyday, my friends would always try to get me to provide a few rolls for toilet-papering people's houses. The orange added that extra "punch" of color as a nice calling card. I learned quickly to use the orange only OUTSIDE my neighborhood, as one morning my mom saw her lovely orange toilet paper hanging from one of our neighbor's trees. She knew it was me, as we were the only people with orange toilet paper! She wasn't mad, though; she was actually kind of proud.
And pride in one's bum fodder isn't just reviving here in the States. Across the world, people are going gaga (caca?) over specialty toilet paper [7]. And it's not just the colors! There are printed rolls, like this [8] and this [9]. For the truly narcissistic (or, perhaps, self-hating), there's even monogrammed paper [10].
Even Shameful Shitters can partake in the bathroom trend [11]. No more hiding the plunger in the garage! (For the BEST reason to buy this last product, read this story [12].) Also, for those of you with an uncooperative spouse or roommate, or if you're just lazy yourself, you might like this double-deckered paper holder [13].
Finally, for those of you with problems of both constipation and time management, consider installing one of these [14].
there are numerous, more elegant choices for the discriminating stash stacker [2], as well as an impressive array of upscale ways to hide the skidmark scrubber [3]. If the usual "bracket on the wall" dispenser isn't good enough for you, there are lots of upgrades for that [4], too. For the space-saving combo look, you can go with this little number [5].
