Six years ago, Charmin debuted hilariously large rolls of toilet paper called "forever rolls." A "regular" roll of Charmin has up to 77 sheets. But these have 1,700, so they're like 22 rolls in one.

Obviously, they're WAY too big to fit on a normal dispenser, so you'd need a special holder. Which takes up bathroom real estate, like you're sitting on the toilet next to a printing press.
Anyway, those "forever rolls" were kind of a novelty, subscription thing that came and went. But now they're back, and are "rolling out" everywhere.
The "forever rolls" are now available nationwide online and in stores, including Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Each roll is supposed to last two people up to a month . . . and you can get a three-pack for around $30 to $35.
But I'm suing...they don't last forever.
Have you ever T-Peed something? When I was in college, we were doing an April Fools issue of the paper and we had a photo of a car wrapped in toilet paper. I was taking a psychology course and we were talking about imprinting (when baby chicks are born and they imprint on the first thing they see..usually mom) So I wrote a story about mutant giant spiders roaming the campus...and said they imprinted on my professor.
When we had class the next day, someone had drawn a spider on the chalkboard. He thought it was funny looked right at me..(It wasn't me!!!) said it was a good article..I did ask if I could get some extra credit..he said no.

You've probably dealt with SQUEAKY shoes at some point . . . usually it's just new shoes on certain types of flooring. But have you ever been embarrassed by a pair of shoes that ALWAYS squeak?
The Swiss shoe company "On" has a line of footwear called "Clouds." They have hollow pods on the sole that are supposed to make it feel like you're walking "on clouds." But they're LOUD clouds.
People have complained about how they make a squeaky sound when you walk on them . . . that never goes away.
It isn't a new issue . . . people online have been talking about it for over a year. But now there's a class-action lawsuit, because people think it's a defect for expensive shoes like Clouds.
More than 10 styles have been mentioned in the lawsuit. These shoes typically cost between $140 and $180.
The company hasn't commented on the lawsuit.
They aren't the only company that has faced complaints about squeaking shoes.
Another brand, Brooks Sports, has said that the issue is often caused by air or moisture trapped under the insoles within the shoes. They recommend removing the insoles after each wear so the insoles and the shoes can dry.
