You know the issue.
Just in case not, we asked ChatGPT to summarise it for us and advise whether there is a preferred protocol. Here’s what it told us (bolding added) –
‘Folding or scrunching toilet paper is a matter of personal preference when it comes to hygiene and comfort during bathroom use.
Some people prefer to fold toilet paper because it allows them to create a more precise and structured shape that they can use for wiping. Folding the toilet paper can also make it more durable and less likely to tear, which can be particularly helpful for people who prefer to use fewer sheets of paper.
On the other hand, some people prefer to scrunch toilet paper because it can create a larger, softer surface area that is more comfortable for wiping. Scrunching can also create a more irregular and flexible shape, which can be helpful for reaching different areas of the body.
Ultimately, whether to fold or scrunch toilet paper is a matter of personal preference and comfort. As long as the toilet paper is used properly and effectively for hygiene purposes, the method of folding or scrunching is up to the individual.‘
So we decided to survey an entirely unrepresentative group of Fremantle Shipping News subscribers, more or less equally balanced by gender and with a reasonable disparity of age, to find out their preferences.
Here’s what we found –
All Folders with a <10% Scruncher cohort.
So, there you are.
Next survey – are you an under or an over roll person?
Apparently the right way is patented!
