Walmart carries a Ginormous Wallet for all of you guys that are working huge weekends and getting giant bumps in your pay! LMAO!

Did you read the Product Details? It says it's made of duct tape and PVC.

What is the problem? Apparently:

1 Big = 1.25 Regulars
1 Giant = 1.5 Regulars = 1.2 Bigs
1 Huge = 2.5 Regulars = 2 Bigs = 1.67 Giants.

Although I will say I had no idea Huge was bigger than Giant.

We worked out a similar usage for fantasy gaming. "Giant" preceding the noun (Giant Ant) is smaller than "Giant following what would usually be the noun (Fire Giant).

As a corollary, if you have "Giant" on both ends (Giant Fire Giant), then you are in really big (pun intended) trouble.

Don't they know that PVC can explode under pressure?

[Dan Hintz]

I was thinking more about the toxic PVC fumes created from burning... trying to hold those smoking credit cards is a chore.

Anyone notice how Folgers has recently shrunk the bigger cans of coffee? Not even 2 pounds now.

That's just to get used to the screwing over everyone will get when Obama announces the U.S. going to the metric system just to be in step with Europe and the rest of the world...

[Jerome Hanby]

Actually I think the "screwing over" took place when we backed off adopting the metric system years ago. Not everything (or nearly anything for that matter) is better because they do it "over there", but the metric system clearly is. Twenty (or more) down years down the line we would all be thinking metric and most of our non-antique tools would have been updated with metric versions. We'd be stuck with converting systems to use our older tools, but we're stuck with that now for our newer tools (how many mm is about 1/4"?)...

My dirty little secret: I'm starting to convert all of my measurements over to metric. Imperial is just downright silly and completely random.

No that's interesting. In the master bath, it often stops and needs a plunge or two to clear the toilet. The nightmare is the powder room and jack and jill bathroom that are back to back, we constantly have problems with them. I've been blaming it on one of the kids flushing a toy or similar and dreading having to open the clean out plugs. What the best (or better) to use instead of Charmin. Been buying it mostly because Sams sells the big packs...

Just a word of advice!! If your on a septic system, DON'T use the Charmin TP. It's too tough to break down quickly enough to prevent clogs. It's like flushing rags, and they will hang up on any grease or foreign object in the pipe walls, and may take forever to actually break down in the system itself.. If your system is sluggish, and your using Charmin, you may end up out in the woods squatting over a log, along with the bears they use to advertise it!

[Mike Cruz]

Hmmmmm, I'm on septic and use two ply, quilted, cushy whatever. I get what is softest for my back end. Never a problem. Stopped up toilets? Well, yeah, sometimes...but it isn't the TP that is causing the problem. If you are having problems, I believe it is more likely an issue with your pipes than the TP.

[Jason Roehl]

...or it could be an issue with your diet!

We use quilted/cushy too, but Charmin is downright tough! If you need TP that is that tough, it just might be your diet..

Are you guys in the wrong thread?
