hmmm...well more interesting factoids
"It has been remarked by older Germans that the worst thing about Nazi Germany was the poor quality of the toilet paper. It was so rough and scratchy that it was almost unusable, so many people used old issues of the Volkischer Beobachter instead because the paper was softer.[6]
Colored toilet paper in colors such as pink, lavender, light blue, light green, and light yellow (so that one could choose a color of toilet paper that matched or complemented the color of one's bathroom) was very commonly sold for the mass market in supermarkets in the United States in the 1960s and early 1970s. By the late 1970s, with the rise of concern about environmentalism, many people came to think that colored toilet paper was bad for the environment because of the dyes used in it, even though they are vegetable dyes which are harmless to the environment, and therefore the public stopped buying colored toilet paper and the manufacturers stopped making it. Today it is extremely rare to ever see plain unpatterned colored toilet paper for sale as was common in the 1960s and 1970s. It has been replaced by patterned toilet paper that is mostly white with the patterns in various colors."

off on a tangent...
why is it so easy to convince people harmless things are bad for the environment, and that bad things are actually harmful?
