picture's kinda small but it looks more like a full size Mercury unless you use mega sized TP rolls!?!?

My wife looked at that picture with the toilet paper and do you know what the first thing was she said? The roll is around the wrong way. It has to go over the roll. Sheesh! First they want us to put the lid down and now we've gotta put the roll on properly...

I'd have to agree with her assessment. I don't think I could support a product that advocates rolling the paper from underneath.

It's an OCD thing.

Cat owners have reported issues with that arrangement, fwiw. Best to live alone, or with a dog, who won't **** with it, either.

This is one of the few times there actually is a right and wrong way, and that's the wrong way on that holder because going the pictured way the cut off strip will not function. Of course when was the last time you bought a roll of unperforated TP that required a tear off cutter???

I looked at it and thought the same thing as your wife. Makes it easier to get ahold of when needed.

Fishing around in the dark gets harder when it's backwards, lol. I tend to agree with Bluey's wife, and that saw blade just won't cut it. haha.

Forgive me if I don't show this thread to my better half. I just couldn't bear it. LOL!
I mean, I have to live with her, if you know what I mean.

You don't BUY the unperforated rolls, its a time honored tradition to steal them from the gas station/convenience store/bus station/etc (not as big of an issue as we get older and have relatively decent paying jobs and can afford to buy our own TP)
