Because one simply shouldn't scrimp on some things in life...
Costco's new Kirkland Signature UltraSoft toilet paper is clearly intended to compete with Charmin Ultra Soft, but it just doesn't deliver the same quality and softness that Charmin does. Yes, it's $5 less for the exact same quantity of paper that's in the Charmin package that Costco sells, but life is too short to settle for inferior TP. Discriminating poopers moisten the TP first with a quick pass under the bathroom faucet before using, and the Kirkland stuff just doesn't hold together as well when damp.
BTW, is anyone else annoyed that some brands of TP (like the two noted above) brag about their "Wider" 4.5-inch width when all TP on earth used to be that width, before the marketing weasels dropped TP products down to 4.25-inches wide? Given that 99% of the toilet roll holders extant are still sized for a 4.5-inch roll, did they think no one would notice this odious downsizing?
