EXPOSING the Toilet Paper Industry
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
- The toilet paper industry has been confusing people (like me) for years now. "We're 4x more absorbent than the competitors! Our roll lasts twice as long as the leading bargain brand! Rub it on your face or we're gonna freak out!"
I wanted to do my own research and compare as many different types of toilet paper as I could to see who really is the best. Length, absorbency, effectiveness at TPing someone's house, we're testing it all today. Enjoy!

finally someone is talking about this
ik I've been waiting for so long, glad Scott came in clutch 💪
Yes, I’ve waited years to here a guy with a killer beard talk about toilet paper brands for nearly thirty minutes🧔♂️🧻
I very nearly made this exact comment before I saw yours. Beat me to it.
Yeah, he’s kinda outing his own brand though, at least he’s honest I guess
Just came to fangirl.
We need a follow up test where you stack the Scott brand up 100 sheets high to see just how many sheets 5 drops would bleed through.
Has anyone else thought that some “TP” is just tracing paper?
this is the last place I expected to see you KB
@@henryrutherford-braun9859 yea lmao a welcome surprise tho.
Hey didn’t expect you here. Glad to see it. I’ve probably seen all your videos in the last four years. Keep it up!
I did not expect to see you here
I just love how your kid is just gonna vaguely remember the time daddy rolled out a bunch of toilet paper on the lawn.
the glory of the internet is he'll get to watch the vid and figure out the vague memories in glorious 1080p
That's is nephew not his son
@@Conor1_23 Does he not have a son though?
@@shahidajnur yes but he was born after this
@Conor1_23 I feel like it's even funnier if you vaguely remember visiting your uncle and he did that XD
I was beginning to think this wasn't a very scientific test, then I saw the TP throw test and all my worries were quelled.
The weirdest part about the Charmin bears is that there's 3 completely separate yet strangely similar families of toilet paper obsessed bears. Red bears who like stronger stuff. Blue bears who rub the soft stuff on their face. Then brown bears for the rest. Either that or the entire family changes color based on the toilet paper currently in their house. I hate those bears.
What did the bears do to you 😡
I didn't even know there were brown ones
Hey, those bears are innocent.
Maybe the brown bears were Polar Bears, but they ended up using the worst toilet paper, and they had a catastrophic failure.
@@Somebodyelse141 sh*t on my lawn!
I grew up super poor with a penny pincher dad so I'm horrifyingly familiar with the hell that is Scott brand toilet paper. My brother and I would always joke that it was the 80s action star of toilet paper because it was rough, tough and didn't take sh*t from nobody
Whis is this not the top comment
that is the most amazing and accurate way to describe Scott toilet paper
I believe that my mom sometimes finds stuff worse than school toilet paper that is not scotts but actually you can vividly see your hand through it but I can’t complain toilet paper is toilet paper and we don’t have like a toilet paper that we use, what I mean is that we don’t use only one we use one then buy a different brand. If I go into my attic I will find about 8 different brands, and the only one that I can remember the name of is babysoft.
I still buy Scott because it lasts so damn long
My mom and grandmother were avoiding clogged toilets with using Scott's. They knew a thing or two about having kids and unregulated toilet paper 😆😆 now I use Angel Soft with the lavender tube!
TH-cam algorithm: hey here's a guy exposing toilet paper
Me: oh okay yeah
I have to use Scott because the pipes in my house are old, small, and clog easily. I'm pretty sure they're marked as septic safe too. I couldn't imagine someone willingly using it unless they have in extreme fondness for public bathroom toilet paper.
i know i'm late here, but maybe try angel soft... take a couple squares of your toilet paper, put them in a container with a lid, fill half way with water, shake... see what happens... we used to use quilted northern, when it didn't break down at all, i tried angel soft, it broke down to basically nothing
we use scott extra soft and its pretty average toilet paper. however the regular scotts is public bathroom paper
😂😂😂
I use Scott, but exclusively the fancier rippled kind. It's softer, thicker, overall just better. But I'm not sure how well it would break up since, like I said, it IS thicker than the normal Scott.
I'm late to this comment but have the same issue with an old house and toilet (I rent) which clogs so easily it's annoying. I was using Scott but it's SO THIN, I found that the one ply cottonelle works much better and doesn't clog like the 2ply ones do, yet it feels and works like the 2ply
So for the Scott brand you said "there's no practical use for this" because honestly it does seem awful, but FUN FACT it is the top recommended brand for homes with septic systems because it will actually dissolve in the septic tank instead of turning into a big wad in the tank. Maybe this information will be useful to someone. *flies away*
Thank you 😊
*proceed flying to toilet paper aisle* 🚽
Considering a dozen other people made the same comment, I'm guessing this was useful.
i had no idea. my house uses a sceptic tank so I will keep this in mind. on the other hand we haven't had an issue in like 2 decades of flushing so maybe it doesn't matter
Yeah. I live overseas, but our version of 1-ply is the only thing that doesn’t wreck the septic tank. It kinda sucks, but it totally beats the plumbing bill/being covered in crap depending on whether you’ve worked out how to unclog it with a high pressure hose.
It also doesn’t have aloe like other brands, which is good for people with allergies like my mom
now i see why we had a *TP shortage* 😡

Scott was the Karen all along...
ONE TOPIC!
Topiccy wopiccy!
😂😂😭😂
Storytime: so I am scarred for life by Charmin. I will not buy any toilet paper with the word "strong" on it because when I read that word on a package my eye starts twitching and my cheeks clench in self defense. How this happened is when my husband and I first got married we were broke. Broke broke. Like crying in the checkout line counting pennies for a loaf of bread broke. We needed toilet paper one day and it was snowing and the busses weren't running so we had to buy from the gas station we could walk to. All they had was a four pack of Charmin Ultra Strong. I get this shiz home and open it and I was dumbfounded. You're not kidding about it being paper towels. I'm totally convinced that it's just cheap paper towels they buy and slice down into thirds and resell. That stuff will sand the paint off your car. And we were stuck with it cause we had NO money to buy a different brand until payday. Worst $6 I ever spent. We literally had to dampen it with water before using it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣IM SOBBING THIS IS HILARIOUS😭😭 "We had to dampen them with water" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 IM SO SORRY FOR LAUGHING *wheeze*
Isn’t that what you are supposed to do? Do you dampen your hands after or just rub a towel? I wouldn’t want crap on my booty cheeks and burning buns on a summer hike.
Sounds like the perfect paper to have on hand for a wet cleaning. And then something softer for drying off.
for real??? i swear by the stuff, for me it's the only tp that feels soft AND doesn't leave a bunch of lint on my ass.
I feel ya; I have NEVER liked Charmin/Extra Strong toilet paper in my entire life. And my grandma uses it for some reason. 😂
We use Scott due to sewer issues. The constant roast of Scott throughout this video was hilarious 😂
Fun fact the Scott brand is typically meant for campers/rvs/houses with bad pipes because they dissolve so easily :)) that way they don't stick to the sides of the pipe or tanks
Yea but have to use so much it would just clog lol
this
Bro just throw the used tp in the trash
College dorms too? I’ve seen it at many schools
@@ThatBetchEllie Truth!
scott is the only person i trust to track down the fifth dentist
*the tenth dentist
Underrated comment
So, as a long time user of Scott, I'll explain why I waste my money on it; it's not about the absorbency, it's about what it doesn't leave behind. Yes, I have to use more, but it leaves no toilet paper dingleberries or fuzz. The super soft toilet papers leave behind so much fuzz and debris, I don't feel clean. And honestly, a roll of Scott lasts me forever, even tho I use more per wipe, it somehow balances out. Also, whenever I'm forced to buy something other than Scott, it seems like my toilet clogs up super easily, that Charmin & Quilted Northern is just too soft and too thick.
I'm not a Scott fan, but I do agree that the super soft plushy stuff is terrible for leaving behind powdered paper and tears super easy leaving bits on you. I greatly dislike finding tiny wads of previous powders in crevasses I didn't know got sweaty until these clumps showed up.
YES. Me and my bf are on opposite sides on this but I think lady’s love Scott
As a fan of Scott also, I concur with everything you said. It lasts forever, no pieces, and doesn’t clog.
As a guy, I don’t care about toilet paper leaving behind crumbs of paper. My favorite is Cottonelle because it’s soft, and I have to wipe less. From all the toilet paper brands I have tried, it probably leaves the most behind in terms of paper crumbs, but the least behind in terms of smell.
maybe i'm just being australian but your toilet paper leaves fuzz?????????????? wtf
It would have been nice to see some charts at the end, showcasing where each brand fell in each category so that we could make our own comparisons and decisions.
Wipe test was not quite what I was hoping for, but life is disappointing so that’s okay!
Hey ! Found your page like 3/4 weeks ago. easily the best and funniest yt page I've found this year!
plus ur animations are great!
Lol was this video inspiration for toilet paper bears?
It just proves that TP only smears poop lol, doesn't truly clean you.
its a crime he didn't test them in real world situations.
shouldve used peanut butter
This reminds me of how “sensitive skin” shaving creams claim they’re so good…but then you look at the fine print and they’re only comparing themselves to shaving with soap. Yeah, of course it’s better than soap. Compare it to other shaving creams!
oh my god that makes sense why some "sensitive skin" stuff still hurts me.
And like 9/10 dentists recommend. They can take a sample of 20 or more dentists get their opinions and cherry pick so they look good
@@sarahshroom I actually use conditioner partway through a shower for shaving and it's so much more comfortable (shaving my face, however)
Also I love how Scott is made by Kimberly-Clark Corporation that also owns Cottonelle so they're just comparing themselves to... themselves
I was wondering lol. So much conflict of interest involved in advertising in every industry.
It’s crazy you read my mind. I was like “come on it’s gotta be the same company keeping that shit around so they could sell their more expensive shit.”
scott’s brand is definitely the receipt paper roll that you gotta refill when you work minimum wage
the recipts are thicker than scotts lmao
ah yes, the papercut roll. Had to refill that 5x per shift cuz the cash register at my place was the type to print out a receipt no matter what. Shit sucked
I’m starting to believe Charmin created the Scott brand. It’s so perfectly rough, thin, and unabsorbent that I can’t think anyone in the right mind could’ve created it. Having this brand to compare to during a commercial would be a blessing
scott and cottonelle have the same parent company 😏
That’s the newest conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in
your just mad that scott won
It's the best brand because it's the cheapest brand
haha this is funny but really though, it was created to be accessible to poorer communities (cheaper) and it’s good for bad pipes because of how it dissolves so easily.
Here's a complete summary of the video

A legend 🙏
This is crazy, thanks!!
I feel like this ranking resulted in Scott brand placing WAY higher than it should have but your dedication is commendable
So the best overall is scott
Here, have some Reddit Gold 🥇
I exclusively used Scott growing up and honestly… I am grateful. Why? Because in a college dorm now and as someone who was not *spoiled* with plush Toilet paper I’m thriving with the dorm bathrooms
The investment in Scott's voice when he sees a little bit of coffee on the sixth layer of a toilet paper is extremely dad
I’m honestly surprised the toilet paper fetish bears took this long to show up with how much Scott likes talking about commercials
I believe they made a cameo in a previous video, the Got Milk one I think. And of course Scott’s contempt for them was about the same as it is here
I feel like he's mentioned them multiple times across multiple videos... I could be wrong but Scott being anti-toilet paper bears feels so natural to me
Better than most fetishes to be fair
@@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024 it’s more a wiping ass fetish which is probably related to the worst fetish
My parents use Scott because they had a septic tank at their old house, and its tissue-paper thinness makes it great at disintegrating and not clogging the pipes. A lot of people have bad pipes, and Scott fills that niche.
Reading this explains why so many public restrooms ive cleaned used it. That stuff turns to mush instantly lol.
Parents bought Scott. I hate it. It’s scratchy and all the extra you get, you end up using 20 sheets per wipe.
We buy Charmin Ultra Strong, since we only use about 4-6 squares per wipe, so it does last long, but not super long.
that makes so much more sense!! my parents buy it too but we're on a well so we also use a septic tank
Scott Comfort plus is like fine,it’s softer but no clogs with our bad pipes.
This is why we have to buy Scott 😭😭😭 somebody please rescue me
I actually like ultra strong for a factor that you didn't address in any of your tests: the "how much lint does it leave on your butt" factor. The softer ones seem worse for that on average. Besides, I've got a bidet, so I'm not solely relying on excess wiping to the point where a toilet paper is going to become uncomfortable.
In exactly the same situation! Sorry to reply 3 months after you commented but the people have to know. The ultra strong has been completely slandered lol. I use like one or two sheets with the bidet and it's great
@@Ezlo do you use them before or after the bidet?
@@positivevibesveda haha what a necro, month later bidet q&a! I use them after, the goal is to be mostly clean from the bidet and just dry/finish up with the paper
Horrible lint factor. Gross. I use personal wipes for the finishing touch!
I was raised on regular Scott because of septic issues, and every time I have had to live with someone who prefers anything else I am shocked that people think it's better... it's too thick to get into all the crevices, it pills up and leaves little pieces behind on the seat (so one could imagine where else it's leaving pieces...), and it's like... too slidey to get a proper hold on if it's folded even once??? I will never shut up about this, regular Scott for life.
Have you tried the Scott brand with the ripples? I believe the label is purple (we're out, so I can't check, sadly). It's my favorite for being a nice halfway point. It's soft, but doesn't leave bits behind. Thick, but not too thick to wad or fold or whatever. And the price is closer to the cheapy junk stuff than to the big brands.
Also just FYI the last time that we had to have a plumber come to our house they gave us a word of advice to not use Charmin because Charmin is like the ultimate toilet clogger and they said to avoid it if you can because 9 times out of 10 when they get a call, Charmin is the culprit.
It’s the worst when you’re on a septic tank
The best TP according to plumbers (my son was a plumber for years) is the Sam's Club Member's Mark. It is soft enough for comfort, durable enough to get the job done yet if you place a sheet into water and let it sit...you will find that the MM almost completely breaks down and dissolves. A true plumbers friend! Probably the least clog factor of ANY TP out there. Plus....it's durable and is a great price!
I must be super lucky, because I've never seen a plumber in all my 38 years, & I use Charmin.
@@LikaLaruku you probably know not to wipe with a yard of TP that will clog
I was coming to the comments to say this. Was told the same thing by a plumber.
During the height of the pandemic, I had to buy Scott toilet paper and woof, it does not deserve to share your name, dude. I had to wrap my hand like a baseball glove just to make sure there was no bleed through, yet somehow it felt like wiping with sandpaper.
My family normally uses the Scott toilet paper. We recently tried the Walmart brand, and as much as I liked how soft it was, I really did not like how quickly it ran out. At least with the Scott, I feel comfortable with crumpling it up more if I need it. Especially during *that* time of month.
As of late, we haven't tried any other brand.
Could you imagine having to replace the TP every other day or nearly daily. That’s my experience with every TP but Scott. I’m so used to wading up a bunch of TP that I’d easily overuse other brands and clog the toilet.
Same I low key love Scott. It doesn’t shred up and you don’t run out so quickly.
When living alone, a large pack of Scotts would last me literal years. I was sitting pretty with half a pack for the entire year of 2020, lol.
I have a very aggressive relationship with toilet paper.
My mom refuses to buy anything but Scott’s now because she says it makes her ‘Feel cleaner’
She enforces this on the whole family.
I know she’s on menopause and doesn’t understand the challenge of wiping with those while on your period
My hand comes out of this like I just stuck it into my uterus.
I’ll pick a fight against Scotts.
I will say it's purpose is to be septic safe (dissolve in water). So if ya'll got a septic tank or your mother did when she lived somewhere else that might be why.
🤣🤣
Yeah... Cleaner. Not your hands though, that's for sure. Or anything else really.
Glad my mother isn't the only one. I absolutely hate horrible toilet paper specifically because of ol' Scott lol
If she's going through menopause I'm guessing she's spent ~3-4 decades having a period so you'd think she would understand from memory 😆
Toilet paper marketers 20 years ago: We can just make these claims up, it’s not like someone is going to do the experiments and expose us, hahahaha who has the time or audience for that?!
Legend has it he's still rolling Scotts toilet paper to this day.
You left out asking the plumber which one clogged plumbing more. Charmin.
Scott's toilet paper has let us all down today
If you think Scott’s go to the dollar tree and buy “strong and soft”. So disappointing
Why are you everywhere
@@thsdidndi2140
Why are you stalking them?
Parents bought Scott. I hate it. It’s scratchy and all the extra you get, you end up using 20 sheets per wipe.
We buy Charmin Ultra Strong, since we only use about 4-6 squares per wipe, so it does last long, but not super long.
@@maenad1231 why are you so concerned with them stalking them, are you stalking them?
My parents were relatively wealthy but refused to buy anything but Scott toilet paper because they wanted us to have a reason to move out after high school.
Legitimately genius parents
Mine said anything thicker would clog the toilet 😂
I would straight up just buy my own toiler paper stash if that were the case in my house.
My parents always bought Scott and I will say it certainly prepared me for dorm toilet paper, everyone else complained about the roughness but it felt normal to me!
Am I the only one that actually likes Scott?
Having "top patrons" pop up right when he said he'd give the scott brand to his enemies was pretty funny.
i actually did a science fair similar to the experiment in this video, except i used paper towels. i compared the paper towel strength and correlated it with price savings. got a 100% on it lmao
I did paper towels for a science fair too. What was your winner? Mine was Sparkle. 🫡
@@amandajo3074 i haven’t the foggiest idea, it was the year we got covid so i don’t remember if there ever was a winner
Most creators: "Green screen."
Scott: "light projector."
LOL YESSSS I’m so glad someone mention this!!! 💛
I have a green screen in every one of my videos and i refuse to use it the way it's supposed to
light projector? I guess instead of a sound projector or something
When I was a child I DEMANDED the Angel Soft toilet paper, while everyone else used Charmin. NOBODY was allowed to touch my special toilet paper. If I felt that someone was using my precious toilet paper, there would be questions. I honestly don’t know why it was such a big deal to me, besides the fact that the Angel Soft was softer.
This deserves to be an award
Angel Soft & Scott remind me of the stuff in public bathrooms.
@@LikaLaruku Lol yeah, I don't use it anymore. Somewhere along the lines, my Angel Soft dream was lost.
How DARE you wipe your ass with my special paper. There will be consequences.
This reminds me of my childhood obsession with sample carpet squares. When did we lose our whimsy?
I love listening to Scott come up with adjectives for the random items he tests in his videos. 😂😂😂
We must repeatedly watch this, to help Scott recoup the price of toilet paper.
Dude you’re brave as hell, I definitely would’ve gotten the toilet paper delivered because there’s no way I could look at cashier in the eye while buying like 20 packages of toilet paper.
as long as you could face yourself in the camera of the walmart self checkout you could do it lol
They were at Walmart. That probably isn’t the strangest purchase the cashier saw that hour
20 packs of _different brands_ of toilet paper - I almost feel like that makes it worse 😂
@@natelax1367 lmao Fr Walmart is full of crackheads where I live.
And while I’m here I’m the same way self checkout all the way cuz ion like ppl lmao
I feel weird enough just buying one giant package of toilet paper. Like yes. I am buying a cart full of just toilet paper. I’m planning on going to Taco Bell later.
Lmao I can’t get over how buying this much toilet paper even 2 years ago would have been viewed as close to a crime 😆
Fights and almost certain death would ensue
It's hoarding and reselling it at a markup that's the crime. Just buying it is fine, legally.
@@morganqorishchi8181 woosh
It's almost like there's no longer a shortage
@@morganqorishchi8181 that's why they said "close to", as in not really.
as a years-long cottonnelle purchaser, thank u so much for cementing my choice forever and confirming that i have made the right one
My parents have told me that the most intense math you'll do in normal life is figuring out which toilet paper and paper towel bargins. If you look, they're now changing the size of the sheets as well sooo good luck
I have to hand it to Charmin in general for having the confidence to create an entire ad campaign based entirely on the rhetorical "Does a bear shit in the woods?"
IS THAT WHY
I always thought it was just because bears are soft, but ya know, that does make sense.
it's because of goldilocks and the three bears because charmin toilet paper is "just right", it has nothing to do with the "does a bear shit in the woods" joke
Yes. They do. And if an idiot who asked a joke like that went into the woods... They would become bear shit.
@@myloveisgod where did you get that idea? because it's just as made up as OP's, except his is actually popular.
“All these toilet paper brands say that one of their squares is equal to like dozens of the standard brand’s. Okay, but which one is that even? What brand are they comparing it to?”
It would seem the answer is Scott.
Welp. It would seem that was indeed the truth. Lmao.
Scott seems to exist solely to be the brand everyone else compares themselves to.
@@travisbic that and for schools and people that don’t care about their assholes
Funny, I bought the Scott brand one time because it was cheap and I was trying to save money. However when I picked up the first roll, I already knew I was in for misery. I pulled apart the sheets and it was litterally so thin I felt like dying inside.
Scott: doesn't want to record himself buying and talking about TP in public
Scott: records himself throwing rolls of TP into the air while going "YEAHHH", in public with people walking by in the background
Scott: Clearing the store selves of toilet paper
Retail workers: **2020 PTSD Flashbacks**
Lmao 🤣 I snorted laughing reading this because 2020 flashbacks started rolling seeing all that toilet paper in his cart lol
Ahhhh yeah that was the dumbest thing, if people were stressing that much about running out of TP did they not know how cheap a basic bidet is? 😐 People out there like it's life or death to not have ass wipes.
This feels like a science fair project.
the jake and amir reference at 20:54 was amazing
Pro reference
"Scott, what r u doing" is probably my favorite thing ever
I felt the “I’m having fun, are you having fun” “yeah!” Because as a married person Scott and Jaiden’s age this is something my husband and I would absolutely spend an afternoon doing just for fun.
I thought the same thing haha
If marriage ain't like this then I don't want it
Im so glad you were brave enough to expose Big Toilet Paper. Ive had enough of their malarky (excuse my tone).
My dad works for a septic pumping company, and he says the brands to avoid if you have a low flushing system are Charmin, Cottonelle and Quilted Northern because they are thicker and don't break down as easy, which can gum up pipes.
My family swears by Scott. They REFUSE to buy any other toilet paper.
I'm sure you can tell that me and my butt do not get along.
love how goodnatured scott was with the baby running through the finish lines.. "how could you stop him?" king behavior. also watching him slowly unroll toilet paper across a lawn is far more entertaining that multiplication. considering we saw a clip of ppl en masse throwing toilet paper at a sports game i'd say far less tp was wasted in this completely and undeniably necessary test
Omg that part with the running baby showed me that Scott is a great person with so much chill... idk its really hard for me to put into words how much that said about Scott's character. It was everything, he was trying to get something done for his job, and it was already kind of a struggle for him cuz it was hot and windy and then the baby runs through it and he seriously cared more about the baby having fun than all of the stuff he was dealing with. And that spoke volumes. Very few people would react in such a way
It was really hard for me to verbalize my thoughts on this but I thought it was really amazing
Seriously. "It looks like a bunch of finish lines." I wish I was that chill."
During the pandemic we were forced to buy one of the more expensive ultra plush toilet paper and honestly, it was so luxurious I hope everyone gets to experience it at least once in their life
🤣
If I was forced to use cheap public toilet style TP at home I'd just give up and buy a bidet
What brand was it? Now I’m curipus
I got some of that Charmin ultra soft I think and damn man
contonelle ultra comfort is sooooo plush, it’s amazing. BUT, if you want the best bang for your buck, Kirkland brand from Costco.
@@kmxrie but it does not absorb well at all according to his test. Your fingers will go through it before wiping it off your butt.
We used to use Charmin. But we started having septic issues. We switched to Scott and haven't had a problem since! I love Charmin... as a matter of fact, I like all kinds of toilet paper. But trust me, you can get used to Scott!!! And it isn't that bad either. If you take enough off the roll and fold it up a bunch, it doesn't go through. And yes, you can get great deals on toilet paper, especially at Target!!
I look for one thing in toilet paper: I want it to be made of recycled materials..is it super luxurious? No, but it does the job and I don't feel bad for flushing all that paper down the drain.
Omg, lmao at saying "I am turning into the bears."
scott brand is like an unfolded napkin. my parents bought WAY too much of this stuff during the height of the pandemic and its been delegated to my bathroom. its the most god awful thing i’ve been subjected to physically. 3/10
All you need to wipe with Scott is three layers, fold or sheets, and its purpose is to be septic safe (dissolve in water).
@nicholas holden considering the absorbancy test and how people don't wash their hands enough it's not a good product
@@Squirreltasticqueen Kinda depends how wet your shits are.
What about mentally?
For someone who just blindly grabs toilet paper with no discerning for brand, price, thickness, or anything. Just grab and go. I sure am gonna watch this whole video.
This is the most unhinged thing I have ever read
@@lissasdf6724 :((
Toilet paper's one of those things you don't really think about or notice unless it's truly awful
You got that grab-whatever-tp money keep slaying queen
The only thing I learned (the hard way) is to get at least 2-ply. Otherwise price is my go-to so I usually go store brand so I appreciate Scott doing this comparison. (My elderly father lives with me and when he buys his favorite is the angel soft LOL)
The toilet paper isle is one of the rare things in life than i have never attempted to understand or study at all. I have, for my whole life, immediately given up and grabbed the generic.
TO HECK WITH YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SOUL. As someone deathly afraid of spiders, that jump scare animated spider in the opening nearly had me fall out of my chair. That was awful.... you're a fun person to watch, but that was the worst...
it's a cartoon spider lmao
Omg that part with the running baby, where the baby ran through the lines of toilet paper and Scott said something like "he saw a bunch of finish lines, how could you stop him", showed me that Scott is a great person with so much chill... idk its really hard for me to put into words how much that said about Scott's character. It was everything, he was trying to get something done for his job, and it was already kind of a struggle for him cuz it was hot and windy and then the baby runs through it and he seriously cared more about the baby having fun than all of the stuff he was dealing with. And that spoke volumes. Very few people would react in such a way
It was really hard for me to verbalize my thoughts on this but I thought it was really amazing
If he ever becomes a dad, he'll be a good one.
u are reaching for this one chief
@@lejuanca I am not, you probably just don't have kids or aren't around kids enough to know how people usually react to them.
@@nicoledoubleyou it's literally just a standard Guy reaction to a silly kid running down some lanes lol i definitely would be saying the same thing in his case
Be around a toddler for an hour. They're adorable but ugh, they get into everything lol.
I will say cottonelle does feel the best when touching it but because it’s so soft it has that issue of little pieces rolling off/getting stuck in the downstairs areas and as a woman I’m already wiping double the amount of surface areas so I stopped buying. Sometimes softer isn’t better.
it’s true. cottonelle is my fiancés favorite and he is the daily diarrhea machine so it’s his choice but man it leaves a lot left after i use it. i have to use wet wipes now lol
It's not athe softest though. I've used rolls of both plus the OLD & new formulas for Viva paper towels for my last cold. Old Viva (curse them for changing it) was the softest thing on my nose & Cottonelle was the least soft. Kirkland Ultra Soft was the 3rd softest, but they discontinued it.
That's why I bought Charmin ultra strong for years. Didn't leave bits behind. Now I use Kirkland/Costco BC cost, and it's pretty good about it, but not as good as Charmin was
I use a bidet and I mainly only use cottonelle on my period and I agree its one of the softest, but I never noticed it leaving bits.
Yes, it's terrible!
"The Scott brand I will likely give to my enemies" right when the patreon list starts showing.
The best of the best: Quilted Northern Ultra Plush Toilet Paper with Sweet Lilac & Vanilla Scented Tube or Quilted Northern Ultra Plush Toilet Paper, 32 Mega Rolls = 128 Regular Rolls or Charmin Ultra Soft Cushiony Touch Toilet Paper,24 Family Mega or
Great Value Ultra Soft Toilet Paper, 18 Mega Rolls. But the Great Value Soft & Strong Premium Toilet Paper, 30 Mega Rolls, 380 Sheets per Roll is the best value.
Love the guy essentially making sure Scott’s son doesn’t mess the experiment up.
The fact he didn't call the wipe test a "sh*t show" is a missed opportunity I can't forgive
The real test everyone misses is how effective it is on hairy surfaces.
That is exactly what I was thinking haha. You need a TP that doesn't tear on rough terrain, if you know what I'm sayin
That’s why this whole video is wrong and the Scott brand is superior!!
Sure you need more but it’s the one that leaves the least amount of particles
That's why Charmin Ultra Strong is actually pretty good, it is just coarse enough to actually do the job and strong enough to not fall apart from the friction, without being so rough it hurts, compared to some brands which are worse. Sure, it's not the softest option, but that's not the point.
Listen, as a hairy man myself … just invest in a bidet or a bidet attachment for a regular toilet. I promise you that toilet paper will never get you as clean as a basic bidet.
@@HumanPerson_final exactly, I use a bidet, toilet paper is just to dry off afterwards. It's better in every way plus toilet paper lasts forever in my house.
Coming back to this video to let you know that I actually used this video to inform my decision as to what toilet paper to buy when I went shopping this weekend. Congratulations.
This video is awesome and super helpful! I've been living on my own for two years and never known which kind to buy and couldn't aford to test them all like this. Super helpful!!
This is giving me Vietnam flashbacks to when my roommate bought a 24 pack of Scott in January 2020 and it became the "emergency toilet paper" throughout spring/summer when we couldn't find anything else. Man, never again.
That was the only brand my roommate would buy and it was always her that replaced the roll somehow I only got to use my hood toilet paper a couple times the semester 😭
same! years ago my grandpa (who usually only buys charmin) bought like 3 packs of scott's on sale to put up for emergencies.... when that was all we had, i ended up using fast food napkins half the time because theyre usually softer AND more absorbant. im not picky by any means but that stuff is horrible!
@@Manthab I was that roommate but to be fair it was the most cost effective honestly and no one else in my apartment would remember to buy TP or replace the roll when it was empty😭 Scott comfort plus isn’t that bad though but the normal one, you have to use more.
@greatest greg i think they meant good, not hood
@greatest greg it was a typo they meant good
You mentioned that even though Charmin is twice as absorbent, Scott is more than twice the length. You could check the package for how many squares a roll has and divide it by the amount of squares the coffee went through to find out how many uses you get out of a roll. First you'd have stack enough Scott toilet paper to find out to find out how many layers it takes to absorb five drops of coffee.
his point was that in their own advertisement and their own marketing, by their own terms they still lose
Scott’s is 1-ply, Charmin is 2-ply, so stack 20 Scott’s to 10 Charmin to get a better idea
My family uses Scott, and the reason why it is practical for us is because we use a septic tank for our toilet plumbing. Anything thicker causes problems and clogs.
A sequel comparing the "gentle" TP is something I'm lowkey interested in seeing, because I think it's a double-edged sword, lol.
“Scott, what do you do for a living?”
“I do things like test out length of different toilet paper brands and post it on the internet”
AND I’M HERE FOR IT!!!
um so is everyone who watched the video /s
The “particle test” would be the definitive consideration. TP that crumbles upon use is the absolute worst, and isn’t worth any amount of money. It’s generally the “ultra strong” brands, but I’d love to know which is soft, long rolls, that doesn’t fall apart into little bits.
Charmin ultra soft is the worst with this.
Walmart brand is shit with this. Charmin essentials Is the best bang for your buck that I’ve tried
Say what you will about scott, but it does not suffer this problem, and I like it for that
Toilet paper is technically supposed to deteriorate in water. TP that doesn’t will destroy your pipes. I know most people don’t think about this but as someone who has done that kind of work, please find a happy medium.
@@PleasentDddd Exactly. You should WANT it to deteriorate in water. Not immediately, but definitely once it's submerged.
everyone that has wroked retail has wiped their bum with scott.
This is the internet content I didn’t know I needed 😂
Scott just seems like a rad dude to hang out with.
Yeah
yea but the scott (the toilet paper) would be a arshole
As someone who was raised on Scott 1ply I can say that until I was 14 I thought it was weird to fold up TP before wiping as opposed to just taking like 10 squares and bunching them up to make them soft enough to use
Solid J&A reference you tucked in there, Scott. I can tell you're a man of culture.
When I opened TH-cam today, I had no idea I would enjoy and also learn so much about TP.
I've been laughing for way too long at "Those nasty Freudian bears" 😂😂
Me too!
I bought some 7 layer TP once because it was the only thing in stock. It was the best, and now I can't find it anymore 😔
Also, to quote a friend "Life's too short for shitty toilet paper".
When I go to México my grandpa has a brand called Regio at his house and I really like it but they don't sell it near me here in the US. Just the thin ones that they sell at the swap meet that are very rough on sensitive skin
I actually do use Charmin specifically because this. While I hate those damn bears, they do make some soft and thick toilet paper
Yeah, go for the good stuff. You can even use it the way it was intended! Just break off a square, put it over the hole and press. Go back and forth a little. Keep doing that till the tp comes back clean. With the cheap paper thin stuff you gotta at minimum double up or get nasty fingers.
Agreed
7 layer? What? I must know what the name of this is. The most layers on the market right now are the Quilted Northern (3-ply). Everything else is 2-ply.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your intrepid work on this issue. This content speaks to the innermost reaches of my soul. And I now feel perfect contentment looking at a pack of Cottonelle I picked up yesterday. I know I’m late to the party, but please keep up the great work!
'thinner than Amir's dad's legs' what a strange, strangely specific drive by, that also made me pause, rewind, then laugh out loud at. I'm not even sure I get it.
Scott is the only one that still displays how many sheets are on the roll. The other companies "regular roll" can always be changed without the consumer knowing. Lastly I believe Scott breaks down better in a septic system.
That's weird. What country do you live in? I've been using Angel Soft for several years, but recently I was completely out of TP when I was at the grocery store, and they were all out of Angel Soft, so I was comparing price per sheet on every brand they had there, and every last one of them listed how many sheets are on a roll. I'm in the USA btw.
yep, in 2020 when tp was short all the other companies started wrapping their rolls significantly looser and only stopped in late 21/early 22.
@@eric_d Okay maybe amount of sheets is in tiny print at the bottom of the roll, it is not prominently printed on the roll. Still the size of the roll could still change at any time, all they have to do is change the fine print and put a different number and you wouldn't realize it changed.
Just like the fine print on cereal for example, today it may say 9.7 Ounces but in 6 month you probably won't remember the old size, and then it could be reduced to 9.4 Ounces. If you use metric just convert it. Of course, it will be the same price as before with less cereal.
Next when the companies can't shrink the size anymore, they introduce a new larger size with 25%* more for free. Then in a month or so they drop off the free part and charge more for the roll because it is now bigger. Then the process of shrinking begins all over again.
*The free amount may vary.
If you don't agree with me that is fine.
@@StealinganF Oh I know that shrinkflation is a very real thing. I was just asking what country the other commenter was from, because they said only Scott TP shows how many sheets per roll where they live, but here in the USA every brand shows the number of sheets, or at least they did a couple months ago when I bought my last 9 pack of rolls.
Maybe it is but my butt doesn’t need to be scraped with sandpaper.
“I didn’t buy the Kirkland brand” but “it’s been our tp for 6 months”
That’s the power of Costco
Discovered you like 3 days ago, seen about 5 of your videos since then... you know what you've earned the subscribe lol
Thinner than Amirs dads legs was an immediate subscribe. Great throwback.
the reason they don't name the leading brand is because there's a law against naming competitors in ads, as it could quickly become slanderous
edit: ok this is apparently regional or has changed (i haven't seen ads in forever since i adblock tf out of everything)
Great work, detective. Everyone on earth knows this
@@subtitledchip7323 no they don't lol
@@vizthex you really think you're brilliant for knowing the most basic information
@@subtitledchip7323 I never said that but ok
God damn everyone coming at you in the comments for no reason😂 I was gonna say thanks lol
I’ve waited 3 weeks in tears because of a lack of Scott Cramer content just for him to talk about ass whiling for 30 minutes.
AND BOY I COULDNT BE HAPPIER!!!!
I read that last sentence on his voice lol
In high school i was suspended for tping the bathroom and all my teachers hated me for the rest of the year, like they insulted me and even threw things at me. The principle told me i would grow up to be a loser and my kids would be losers too. True story. They made me feel like throwing tp is only something hardened criminals do and that i deserved not only a life of punishment but continued punishment onto my next of kin. All my life ive had so much shame and guilt attached to throwing tp. So thank you for the wholesome tping test, it makes me feel more normal.
Back in highschool the seniors and juniors had a toilet paper fight in the gymnasium every year, but the year i became a junior the school staff no longer allowed backpacks in the gymnasium during school pride week (when they always had the fight) so i never got to do it, at the same time a lot of senior-specific events were cancelled my senior year (like senior skip day, we were forced to go to a drunk driving thing instead to advise us against bringing alcohol to prom, also the principal himself kept smelling peoples drinks at prom for alcohol), but we were assured "don't worry, we'll bring them back next year" like we'd still be there.
Was also hoping you would try that weird coin test they show in commercials xD always wondering why they used coins on wet toilet paper like, I don't generally shit coins. 🤔 🤷🏻♀️
Pretty sure the coins are just for weight to show how strong it is, lol
