Luxury Toilet Paper

I am still trying to figure out whether this is a joke or not ... In any case, the newest trend for the real fashion victims extends to the most mundane of everyone,Aeos daily activity: the ass-wiping. Apparently available only in Europe and Japan, this luxury toilet paper costs about 10 times more than a regular one and this article on radaronline.com will explain to you why it is becoming so popular and why America is apparently not quite ready for it.

Peter:

You are probably talking about the Black toilet paper from RENOVA, an European brand.
I bought some rolls some weeks ago.
Very Pedro Almodóvar...
And I know that it can be delivered everywhere in the world...
Shop it here: http://www.wellbeingworld.com

This is no joke! When I was living in Tokyo last year, I saw these. Of course, they have toilet paper printed with everything from Hello Kitty to Astroboy on it, so LV is not really a big leap. I didn't take a look to see how much it was though.

Bob:

I once shared an airplane seat row from Sweden to the U.S. with a gentleman who sold equipment to the likes of Kimberly-Clark.

He indicated that the U.S. "TP" market is unlike the rest of the world, in that Americans have become accustomed to a quality of tissue paper available almost nowhere else. I didn't get the impression that the rest of the world was in any hurry to follow suit.
