"Buttsure," the new brand of toilet paper from Costco.

Around 2:00 am last night I woke up and determined that a trip to the loo was in order. Half-asleep, I shuffled to the bathroom, in which was a large package of TP that I'd purchased that day at Costco but hadn't put away yet - one of those 30-roll packs that lasts nearly forever. It was standing on end, and, from my enthroned position in the dim night-light-lit room and without my glasses, the wrinkled plastic wrapper seemed to read "Buttsure." In my sleep-befogged state I briefly thought, ""Buttsure"? They gave TP the brand name "Buttsure"?" Of course the lettering on the wrapper actually spelled "Bath Tissue," which I quickly realized, and LOL'd at the silly trick my mind had played on me. But maybe I should give Costco a call.

They had cut one inch off the width of toilet paper until they checked their roller.

Also, what used to be a really soft brand is now actually ,” Buttsore!”

What is a person to do? Woe is me!

A guy who lived in Dubai for a while said they increased the diameter of the inner cardboard roll.

Kept the width, though.
