What’s the best value of #tp?
Manufacturers of toilet paper get needlessly clever with equivalences, claiming, for instance, that a sheet is some sort of consistent or fungible unity, and that double- or triple-ply tissue constitutes a savings. Indeed, a “roll” is not even a reliable unit; Charmin’s regular roll has 55 two-ply sheets, but good luck finding it in stores, as it’s more of a conceptual, Platonic idea of a roll rather than a legitimate product, with the mega roll being the one you actually get in stores. By the same logic, the Platonic Quilted Northern roll has 73.75 sheets, Angel Soft has 80 sheets, and Cottonelle has 61 sheets.
