What do the other 7% use for toliet paper?
Here’s something to chat about at the bar. The Neilsen company released a list for the Top 10 Consumer Packaged Goods purchased by U.S. Homes.
Most of the items make sense. That is, until you get to number 3, toilet tissue. I’m a little worried about the other 7%.
Percent of homes who purchased each category within past year
Rank Category
1 Fresh Bread 97%
2 Refrigerated Milk 95%
3 Toilet Tissue 93%
4 Fresh Eggs 93%
5 Cookies 93%
6 Ready-to-Eat Cereal 92%
7 Canned Soup 91%
8 Chocolate Candy 91%
9 Potato Chips 88%
10 Batteries 86%
Source: Homescan(R) Consumer Facts, a service of The Nielsen Company Note: The percentage of U.S. households who purchased at least once during 52-weeks ending June 30, 2007. Prepackaged, UPC items only.
Thoughts anyone?

Get with the program. You have your corncobs and your Sears catalog. Who could ask for more??

There’s also leaves. And old copies of the yellow pages. And some yuppie-types use “pre-moistened towlettes” (baby wipes) for their sensitive behinds. LOTS of options.

It’s very simple. The other 7% were too embarrassed to admit the buy TP.
