Truth can be found in the strangest of places: in this instance, #shrinkflation on the shrinkwrap!

Bought these two bales ~2 weeks apart from the same location/retailer and the most recent one felt suspiciously easier to carry than usual.

(At this time I rely a LOT on disposable towels for all cleaning etc as one of several means of reducing risks of infections whilst remaining on oral #chemo.)

Two paper towel bales with the total square metres of each listed. The package sizes are identical but one is physically lighter to carry. The older package notes 44.8m^2 whilst the newer package notes 40.8m^2.

IOW, four metres of paper towel gone. Price remains the same at ~$30/bale.

My comment below these images: Sooo, NOT my imagination that the new bale of paper was a LOT lighter: 4 metres lighter!!!

When #Americans desperately need help

#Trump spreads dangerous conspiracies

He only helps #Republicans & abandons #Democrats

He throws #PaperTowels at Americans who are hurting

He wastes govt resources by spreading lies

THIS #fraud is who you want in an emergency?!

The aftermath of my small support station this morning for the . It wasn't quite as brutal as the Pixar in 2017 but it was still too warm and too humid. Good to see some of the racers as they went past. Great job to everyone who raced today.

" Earth911.com estimates that a family of four that uses two rolls of paper towels a week creates about 219lbs of #CO2 #emissions a year, โ€œor about the same as burning 11 gallons of #gasolineโ€.

Paper Towel / Toilet Paper math is so hard I literally created a spreadsheet to price-compare them

18 MEGA = 72 REGULAR12 rolls | 12 club rolls = 35+ regular rolls10 triple rolls = 30 regular rollsSpreadsheet with columns indicating cost, sheets per roll, count of rolls, and a calculated price per sheet, along with product names

Are you still flushing carbon-collecting #trees down the toilet or are you a friend to the #environment?

I came across #CloudPaper shortly before #COVID19 #lockdown and they have some great #bamboo #toiletpaper that convinced me to quit using Charmin. You should think about switching, too.

(I did not like their #papertowels, when I bought them a year ago, though. But, Cloud Paper iterates their products quickly and newer orders likely have a much better version.)
