‘Family Guy’ Toilet Paper Is A Thing

Why? Why does this exist? Or maybe “who?” is the better question. As in: who in the right mind would feel the need to buy this product? Who has ever said to themselves, “You know what? I want to wipe myself with Peter Griffin’s face.”

And it’s not novelty, one-ply, public restroom, toilet sandpaper either. If I understand the infographic on one retail site, these babies are THREE ply, and contain 200 sheets each, stretching 24 meters. I don’t know what that is in feet, but it sure sounds like a lot.

But one must really stop and think about the fact that this product was invented. Countless people around the world are starving every day, even in this country, and the country in which the TP is made, Italy. Yet this is actually available on the shelves of some supermarkets, as Twitter user @redfabiuz pointed out in a post re-tweeted by Seth MacFarlane. I think this whole situation begs an important question that we all need to ask:

How soft is the paper?
