Happy Wednesday and Happy National Toilet Paper Day (Yes, I couldn’t believe it myself, there is a day dedicated to toilet paper(. Here are 5 quick interesting facts on toilet paper:

1) The toilet paper was invented by Joseph Gayetty in 1857.

2) Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there was a huge rise in toilet paper revenues: 140% Italy, 98% Australia, 82% Spain, 80% UK, 60% US and 51% India.

3) The most expensive toilet paper roll is a 22-carat gold toilet paper with a price tag of $2.5 million.

4) A family accidentally bought 2,300 toilet rolls prior to national supermarket sell-out (the kids built a chair from it).

5) A London creative web developer has created a toilet paper calculator which tells you how much toilet roll you actually need to stop panic-buying (I couldn’t really believe this as well…)

That means you can visualize how a whole set of new products could fit together in your own space, not just a single item.
