some little flash of something

you know what i realized today while at superstore? there are way too many kinds of toilet paper, and subsequently, people spend way too much time worrying about what kind of toilet paper they should buy. think about it. it’s toilet paper. it has one basic purpose; become slogged down in the brown. yet here we have one ply, two ply, three ply, quilted, not quilted, super absorbent, pillowy soft, paper towel scratchy, and on and on and on it goes, where it stops, the sewer goes.

in all honesty, this ran through my mind standing in the middle of an aisle that ran end to end with different sizes, brands, ply, etc of a product that one wipes one’s ass with. did you know there’s No Name brand two ply super soft??? what kind of crazy toilet paper saturated world do we live in when the most basic of product names is now producing luxury ass wipe?
