We can handle this - Toilet paper information

With all of the doom and gloom we’re experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic I thought a few facts or funnies about toilet paper might be a bit of relief.

According to Modern Survival, the average person uses one roll of toilet paper per week. That would mean a family of four would go through four rolls each week. So, with a two-week quarantine, that would add up to eight rolls of toilet paper.

Seriously, why do you think you now need 96 rolls?

About 70% of the world’s population does not use toilet paper. Some parts of the world do not use it due to a lack of trees. It takes 384 trees to make the toilet paper one person uses in their lifetime.

The daily production of toilet paper is about 83,048,116 rolls.

The largest roll ever made was produced by Charmin to celebrate World Toilet Paper Day. Yeah, that’s actually a thing – August 26, 2020.

That giant roll was eight feet high and had a diameter of more than nine feet, made up of one-million square feet of toilet paper. That’s like 95,000 regular rolls.

Y’all are bad boys when it comes to stealing toilet paper, too. Seven percent of Americans admit they’ve stolen it from hotels and motels when they leave.

As an 80s kid I remember Halloween and roll after roll of the precious white paper adorning the trees of certain teacher’s homes.

Perhaps that’s the prank we’re all stocking up for.
