Inscription from the Top package of Charmin.
Inscription from the bottom package of Charmin.
We've had the bottom package of Charmin sitting in our garage for quite a while. We recently purchased the top package of Charmin. I ended up putting one on top of the other for no particular reason. Well, a few days ago as I was walking by, I noticed something interesting. They both claimed to have "30 Jumbo rolls" of toilet paper. Yet one package was significantly smaller than the other.
If you'll notice, the Top package says "Equal to 83 regular rolls". The bottom says "Equal to 75 regular rolls"
Now that would be okay if the package with more toilet paper was equal to the 83 rolls. Such is not the case! The top package has 866sq ft of TP. The bottom, 937sq ft.
Either someone randomly assigns the "equal too X number of rolls", or else Charmin regular rolls went through a drastic size shrink. You probably already did the math in your head, but that amounts to a 17% shrink of the regular roll size, and an 8% shrink of the Jumbo rolls.

Scammers...
Interesting comparison, Mike.
One thing that irks me is buying something in a plastic tub and discovering that they have made the bottom concave (from the outside) to allow for less room inside the tub. It looks the same on the outside unless you turn it over.
As Emily says, "scammers..."
I agree mom!
