I wonder if there is a direct relationship between the amount of paper
used and the thickness in toilet paper provided in offices.
It seems logical to me that thicker paper would result in less paper used?
Thus a random thought

Makes sense. Although at some point more thickness is just more
thickness and doesn’t make a diffeerence. So the graph would not be a
straight line.

Sounds like a research project worthy of a government funded grant.
Don’t forget to factor in the “Grain” factor (as in Sandpaper)
I’ve run across some paper that appears to have a grain factor that
highly limits use…

These are all interesting points I am sure some research institute could
take on.
Anyone know a god one?
I just wonder because both the paper and the hand towels here have
become see through. Well almost.
And also have that sandpaper texture Craig mentioned

I would submit that the same mindset which believes the absolute
cheapest toilet paper available is just as effective and usable as
higher-quality products, would also believe that slashing headcount to
the bone has no significant effect on the quality of service provided to
customers (here referring to your “Three redundancy notices in three
months” post).

I don’t know about the office parallel, but I actually buy the 3-ply stuff
because it takes so little, and rolls have become shorter & shorter (and looser
& looser rolled) so 3-ply is actually more cost-effective. The expression is
“penny-wise and pound-foolish”.
Always thought the sandpaper textured stuff was from the mindset that time in
the bathroom is “wasted” time so to not encourage you to go there, much as some
companies also don’t like employees to take walks or mid-afternoon breaks.

I agree on the 3-ply comments.
All people should be allowed to take breaks in the day.
Smokers seem to get free reign when it comes to breaks here so I have
instituted regular “smoke” breaks for my team where we ll walk outside
and stand in the sun and have 5 minutes.
The same brush should be used for all.
