TOILET PAPER HISTORY

The first recorded use of toilet paper was in 6th Century China. By the 14th Century, the Chinese government was mass-producing it. Ya gata LOVE the Chinese.

Packaged toilet paper wasn’t sold in the United States until 1857. Joseph Gayetty, the man who introduced packaged TP to the U.S., had his name printed on every sheet.

Global toilet paper demand consumes nearly 30,000 trees every day. That’s 10 million trees a year.

Seven percent of Americans admit to stealing rolls of toilet paper in hotels.
