Can you name the Toilet Paper Capital City?

Post by Mars »

No, it's not Flushing NY!!!! :ROFL:

Today's Trivia!

Northern Tissue--renamed Quilted Northern in 1993--opened in Green Bay, Wisconsin*, in 1902. By the 1930s the company was producing its famous "splinter-free toilet paper," and the city had proudly earned the title of Toilet Paper Capital of America.

Splinter free?????????? OUCH!!!

Happy Wiping! :ROFL:

Hi Mars,

I was puzzled by that splinter-free part, so I looked it up, and dang if it it isn't true - early paper sometimes contained splinters. In the process, I found another addition for the "Poop" room. Thanks for an interesting bit of toilet paper trivia. Hahahahaha.

LOL

Having a great deal of experience with sawdust and splinters in everything from my socks up that makes me feel like this :bandevil: , I am trying to keep this decent so use your imagination, I can be thankful that it is no longer a concern with TP.

Thanks for the laugh.
