Mexican TP
Stopped by Mega to pick up some toilet paper because we were out, I didnt have time to go to Costco and this brand was on sale.
When I got home I noticed that it was "Facial Quality"
Am I missing something here?
Isnt that the wrong end?

And while we are at it, why do they put a scent on toilet paper. Roses or flower scent of some kind. I have noticed that most of the toilet paper in
Mexico is of the no frills type. Not especially soft and sometimes only one ply.

Faces and Feces ?
While I haven't seen any Mexican Toilet paper other than in bulk without labeling, IF this is the first time someone has seen Toilet Paper advertised
as "Facial" Quality, it does indicate a lack of attention.
That "facial" labeling has been common on U.S. tissue for more years than I can remember. 20-30-40-50 ?

I picked up something recently that said facial quality and nearly got paper cuts from it. Really don´t know what kind of faces it was made for.

Someone U2U-ed me and suggested that I use it on my face first.
I havent decided whether to share this advice with Mrbill or not.

An Indian walks into a trading post and asks for toilet paper. The clerk asks if he would like no name, Charmin, or White Cloud.
"White Cloud sounds like good Indian toilet paper," says the Indian. "How much is it?"
"$1.00 a roll," the clerk replies.
"That seems pretty expensive," responds the Indian. "What about the others?"
"Charmin is $2.00 a roll, and no name is 50 cents a roll."
The Indian doesn't have much money, so he opts for the no name. Within a few hours, he is back at the trading post.
"I have a name for the no name toilet paper," he announces to the clerk. "We shall call it John Wayne."
"Why?" asks the confused clerk.
"Cause it's rough and it's tough and it don't take no crap off an Indian |

Can't complain.
When we were in French Polynesia they only had TP that looked, felt and worked about the same as the paper they use here to decorate pinatas, only in
brighter colors.

Bajajudy, I think they call it facial quality because the inspector had his head stuck up his nether region. Or maybe he forgot to shave that day. I
just love these trivial lines about Baja life!!

Still and all, arguably better than printer's ink on your bum from thoughtfully provided squares of newspaper, or possibly worse, half a lemon.
Still, "peor es nada". Reminds me of Belize City in the early 60's. The gov't (still Brit at the time) provided little outhouses on the end of piers
over the bay in neighborhoods where the sea level was too high for backyard privies. But, you were on your own for paper or lighting, so the wise
always carried a few sheets of newspaper and a box of matches, the latter to check for scorpions, accidents, etc. after dark. Newcomers were alway
startled their first time when the water erupted below them. Saltwater catfish in the bay, the city's primary sanitation system. It was illegal to
fish for them (if anybody would want to) but, when you think of it, that would be the ultimate infinite recycling system...
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Facial Quality and usage
Better to use it on your face first than the other way around.

I just was discussing "Top Ten" lists among my observations of year end absurdities. But, this "thread" is cutting edge. Makita, Dennis?

Doc....
Old style made in Mexico TP was, maybe still is, more abrasive than absorbant. You had to be there.

toilet paper in Baja?
Well, Vogue is good when you're feeling elegant and upscale. Adorable (pronounce it a-dor-á-bley) you can cuddle
up with when you've misplaced your teddy bear. 123 always tears nicely on the perforations.. easy as 123. And
Petalo-- comes in handy when you're missing the key ingredient for rose petal ice cream or quail with rose petal sauce. Just tear
it into small pieces, substitute equal amount... But stay away from the Blue Weather!!!! Like someone left it out in the rain!
Almost forgot Angel Tissue and it's in season now.
All available from time to time at Pescador in Loreto.

Just saw this article.
Maybe this is why you need facial grade TP.
>>>
NEW YORK (AP) - Here comes the bride, all dressed in white ... two-ply, extra soft toilet paper. Lovebirds Jennifer Cannon and Doy Nichols of
Lexington, Ky., plan to get hitched Wednesday in a public restroom. She'll be wearing a gown fashioned from glue, tape and Charmin Ultra Soft and
Ultra Strong toilet tissue.
The intricately detailed dress was designed by Hanah Kim, winner of the 2007 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest, sponsored by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com.
The wedding ceremony, to be attended by family and friends, will take place in Times Square at the Charmin Restrooms - temporary, free public
restrooms, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday.
I think the world is run by C- students.
