An Extra Layer
A little while ago I went into the bathroom and right in front of the toilet was a package of Angel Soft toilet paper. As I moved it, something caught my eye on the back of the package. I looked a little closer and it said “with an EXTRA LAYER* to get the job done.”
“Hmmm,” I thought to myself, “Angel Soft now has three layers? They are really stepping things up.” Then I looked a little closer and the * part said “*versus one-ply products.”
Well, no kidding. If I’m not mistaken, they’ve always had two-ply toilet paper—at least as long as I’ve known them. Like, I make it a practice to not buy one-ply. And they just now thought to promote the extra layer?
I always find it interesting to note when a product suddenly has one of the splashy promotional type stars on their label that says something like “Now with 3.4 oz.” and you look at the old product sitting right next to it on the shelf that hasn’t all sold yet and, sure enough, it too has 3.4 oz. I’m sure that it increases sales though or companies wouldn’t periodically do it.
