Dear Cottonelle,
When I started seeing commercials for your new Cottonelle Roll Poll, I thought little of it. After all, the choice was obvious. I’ve always rolled under. Everyone I’ve ever known has rolled under.
But then on a whim I checked the poll statistics and found that (as of January 12, 2010), 83% of Americans roll their toilet paper over the top. My home state of Connecticut is the only state in the nation where a majority of citizens roll under.
But let’s get real. Having a majority of Americans choose something hardly guarantees its superiority. The majority of Americans also like Dunkin’ Donuts’s donuts, CBS’s “Two and a Half Men”, and the New York Yankees. 300 million people can be wrong. And so I would like you to consider the facts before you conclude your study in the field toilet paper and announce one to be superior based on just popular opinion.
• Ease of Removal.
As you can see in the diagram and assume using your powers of common sense, the Earth’s gravitational forces pull the loose end of the toilet paper in a downward direction. When the toilet paper is being rolled under, this means the end of the paper hangs in the air obediently. However, if the roll has been set up such that the edge hangs over the top, gravity then draws the loose end back onto the roll. The picture at left is a microspic view of toilet paper. In it, you can see the tiny fibers that stick out from toilet paper. We don’t notice
