| THE SPECS: 8 roll package. 198 sheets per roll. 2 ply. 9.9cm by 10.1 cm sheet size. SOFTNESS: Good STRENGTH: Good ABSORBANCY: Good PRICE: Great OVERALL VALUE: Good SUMMARY: President's Choice is a lower end tissue intended for the price conscious consumer.

| Toilet Paper Shootout |
| Finally, the much anticipated toilet paper shootout has arrived. I know you all have been waiting anxiously to see what the deal is with the top contending products on the market today. Wait no longer friends, for I am here to help. The Toilet Paper Shootout is but the first in a series of product trials that will turn your shopping lives around! Let's start with some ground rules that will apply to all my product tests. 1.The products tested must be similar and in direct competition with each other. 2.I must have been exposed to and/or have used the product(s) in question, for the intended and/or tested purposes. 3.They must be real product(s) that can be purchased on the open market. 4.The test must not require that the product(s) enter my anus to a depth greater than 1/2 inch. (This rule is void if I test any enema-type items, which I won't anyway so nevermind) 5.The Product(s) will be given a rating in each category no lower than dreadful and no higher than great the total rating scales goes as follows: Dreadful, bad, OK, good, great. |
| The Contenders! President's Choice |
| Cashmere by Cottonelle |
| THE SPECS: 8 roll package. 198 sheets per roll. 2 ply. 9.9 by 10.1 cm sheet size. SOFTNESS: Great STRENGTH: Great ABSORBANCY: Great PRICE: Bad OVERALL VALUE: OK SUMMARY: Can be used as facial tissue quite comfortably and among the best toilet paper money can buy but at a cost that can't really be justified. Luxury? Yes, but when all is said and done, it's just getting flushed away. I'd buy it if it was on sale. |
| The Miramichi Weekend/Leader |
| THE SPECS: Loose packaging. Variable sheets per package. Single ply. SOFTNESS: Dreadful STRENGTH: OK ABSORBANCY: Dreadful PRICE: OK OVERALL VALUE: Great SUMMARY: How is it that the local newspaper can beat 2 of the top contenders in a toilet paper shootout? Well the Weekenf/Leader has value on it's side being the only contender to double as bathroom reading material. Although it's not recommended as facial tissue, it can be used as such. Unfortunatly, the big winner of this shootout has one major flaw and anyone who is a regualr reader of the publication can attest to this, it's already full of shit when you get it. |
