BOG BLOG The Toilet Paper Topic

In this consumer driven society where there is a constant need for bigger, better, newer.
SO WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE SIZE OF TOILET PAPER SEGMENT?
Around the world the standard length for a segment of toilet paper is about 11.5 cm.
No one ever only uses one segment do they? So why not make the segments twice as long? We are all time poor these days. With longer segments you would be able to pull less on the roll to get your required and desired amount. And while we’re on the subject (and lets face it, we probably wont get to talk toilet paper again today) why is there only one standard width of toilet paper?
The world is full of arseholes. They come in all shapes and sizes. Why not recognise that with a wider brand of toilet paper ‘For a more secure, efficient wipe’. I’m talking deluxe width, Handy Towel sized toilet paper. It’s just a thought.

There have been some advancements in toilet paper technology. The move from one ply to two-ply. After two the scientists said three could never be done. But, using technology from the space program they managed it and then went on to four.
We’ve got toilet paper with pictures on it and scented toilet paper. We know they have the technology to make longer, wider segments. So why have they remained the same? Did a consortium of the world’s most powerful toilet paper tycoon’s meet somewhere back when the business was first taking off and agree to standardise the size? If they did why hasn’t a rouge toilet paper entrepreneur broken the rules and gone out on his own. Or have they tried, Maybe it is like the water-powered engine. Invented, but ruthlessly suppressed by powerful men with an interest in hiding the invention from the public. What are the toilet paper tycoons trying to prevent exactly? A more comfortable satisfying wipe experience? Going in the other direction completely, I am sure that not everyone needs toilet paper as wide as it is now? Why don’t the titans of toilet paper also offer bog rolls with a smaller width. It would use less trees and appeal to the greeneys. And it would be a bit cheaper.
All I want to achieve here is stimulate some debate among the biggies in the bog roll business. I know a lot of them read visit this site, so if there are a few new ideas they can pick up and run with as a result of this bog blog then my job is done.
