Roll over or under? The Great Toilet Paper Debate!

It's hard to believe that some of life's simplest choices can generate such discourse in households. The Choice - Whether the toilet paper should roll over or under from the dispenser. This is a question that begs "Get a Life" and yet from what I'm reading and hearing the loading of the toilet paper roll is the stuff of irritation in many otherwise happy marriages, offices and public restrooms.

Cottonelle® has decided to try to solve the debate once and for all with their Roll Poll. I saw the poll advertised on TV last week and it gave me a laugh. Though initially I thought "Who Cares?", I found myself visiting the site the very next day to offer my most humble opinion. I'm not telling my husband about the poll as he'll vote the opposite and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my side wins. The videos are hilarious and the comments may make you chuckle or raise your blood pressure, depending on your personal view of this subject. Someone had a great solution in the ad I saw, an invention that allows the roll to be flipped to your preference with just a twist of the wrist. Now if everything was just that easy!

Want to vote. Just visit http://www.cottonellerollpoll.com/

Feel free to share your comments here as well....and if you think you have a better contraption to dispense a roll these books might help/ You'll find them in the nonfiction stacks under

I find it hard to understand how the debate can cause so much trouble, but everyone has their idiosyncracies! Thankfully my husband and I agree. You could always go sideways if over or under is a problem!

OVER OVER OVER, and if someone else puts the paper on under (And that happens maybe once a year) I DO change it!!!
