Mathematician: Pi is 3.141592653589793238...
Engineer: Pi is 4
Toilet Paper Marketer: Pi is 10
- 2-pi toilet paper…
  
  This is way too funny I'm rofl
As someone who comparison shops in excess, toilet paper math is infuriating.
- Look at the price by weight instead. The "math" advertised on the packaging is probably bullshit anyways.
  
  COMING SOON: Quilton solid uranium toilet roll. Say goodbye to squishy cardboard toilet rolls that can't hold their shape, Say hello to the quality heft of a solid metal roll.
  Safety note: Stacking more than 6 together will cause a Demon Core event.
- Toilet paper math becomes a lot easier with a bidet.
- i mean at least with regular toilet paper i get what they mean, "16 double rolls = 32 rolls wow!" even tho it's bullshit
  but here??? are those paper towels unthirdle rolls?
- i always squeeze the rolls, and go with whatever feels the most dense. usually scott.
special deal! 6 = 8*
*8 = 6
High school math never prepared me for toilet paper math.
- Taxes are easier.
That's almost apple math.
"There are.. 6.. rolls!"
I think the printer ran out of ink before it finished 8 * 0.75
2+2=5
i still don’t know what they mean by this
- The rolls now have more sheets per roll, so six rolls gets you the same number of sheets as eight normal sized rolls.
  
  6 of this product with 200 sheets each (1200 total) = 8 competitor products with only 150 sheets each (1200 total).
  They are missing a ×200 and ×150 in their equation. They are trying to remind you that this isnt shrinkflation! ... So they can normalize 6 rolls per pack and shrinkflate later
  
  ah, okay that makes sense i guess
  it's still such a weird thing lol, like at least usually they'd explicitely say "as much sheets as 8 rolls!" somewhere
- What does the asterisk text say? Is it some kind of poorly designed "Buy 6, get 8" thing?
- 8^*=6, meaning * ≈ 0.8617
