THE GREATEST NECESSITY OF THE AGE – THE HISTORY OF TOILET PAPER?
Have you ever wondered why it's customary to shake hands with the right hand? Humans have not always enjoyed the luxury of 4 ply cloud soft cushion. The finest man in toilet paper security (Mr Whipple) knows this, and that's exactly why he implored: "PLEASE, DON'T SQUEEZE THE CHARMIN!".
Aside from the left-hand, some of the first tools used for "throne" hygiene, are listed below. Just a submission from the archives of #UselessTrivia that clutters my mind. Someone said "useless trivia" was the hashtag game today. Maybe they were stoned.
Thousands of years ago, Hygiene sticks, known as salaka, cechou and chugi were used. Many were basically a sponge on a stick.
For the longest time, the Sears catalog was a favorite, as well as another publication. Have you ever wondered why the "Farmers Almanac" has a punch-hole in the top corner? This was the reason. The hole was "punched" so the magazine could be hung on a hook in the outhouse. Not kidding. Later, something called Apothecary paper was marketed but, people began to use this invention as stationary because of the quality of the paper. This paved the way for the more modern version of toidy tissue textiles.
Touted as:
"The Greatest Necessity of the Age", in 1857, Joseph Gayetty introduced:
"GAYETTY'S MEDICATED PAPER FOR THE WATER CLOSET"
The image and article below tells the rest. Considering the other options, can you think of any better invention? Given a choice between toilet paper and the internet... my clean behind and I, would miss all of you very much.

Belated #WaterfallWednesday submission.
#TangleFalls in #IcefieldsParkway in #Jasper #Alberta area - #frozen in #Winter . It was totally isolated when we stopped here during a filming documentary work #RoadTrip . You can walk on it, when it's frozen over in Winter. It's surreal standing atop them & hearing the rushing water running underneath.

I really enjoy the #rupaulsdragrace #pitstop with bianca this season. It's so good to watch the recap with all the lovely queens from previous seasons. All my favourites talking about the new episodes 💖
@ryanhoulihan I just starting catching up with #RPDR #PitStop on #YouTube tonight and noticed the first episode of that was longer than this week’s actual #DragRace runtime. https://youtu.be/ppS0og2KxSE

#ferrari #Binotto a trouvé la solution pour améliorer ses #pitstop et eviter bon nombres des erreurs commises en 2022. Peindre des fleches pour être sur de renvoyer les voiture dans le bon sens. Petit geste ,grands effets, aucune des 2 voitures n'ait répartie a contre sens. CA MARCHE!!!
