Mega Rolls

This is getting stupid. MEGA rolls?

I was pretty happy with double-rolls. You know, having a roll on the spindle for longer than a couple of hours. But now there are MEGA rolls. We're not at the point of having those enormous jobbies like they have in public restrooms, but these things have the same paper as four regular rolls.

So when does this stop? Already you have to have a special extender to retrofit your regular roll holder, that alone should tell you you're pushing the envelope of normalcy.

I know from personal experience that certain members of the family just can't wrap their heads around removing an old, empty cardboard tube and putting a fresh roll on. I've seen the new roll perched precariously on top of the cardboard tube, on the back of the tank, with one end dipped into the bowl, or even on the edge of the bath tub. Hey, at least he doesn't leave me high and dry (or damp as the case may be.)

But even though some folks are challened in the changing the roll area, is a MEGA roll really the answer? Where do we draw the line? How big can a toilet roll get before North America rejects it as too unwieldy?
