Company Rolls Out Electronic Toilet Tissue Dispenser That Spits Out 5 Sheets Per Wave
"ROSWELL, Ga. (AP) -- Richard Thorne grins as he waves his hand under a toilet paper dispenser in a women's restroom. The machine spits five sheets of tissue into his grasp.
A year in the works, the electronic tissue dispenser is being rolled out to the masses by Kimberly-Clark Professional as it seeks to capture more of the $1 billion away-from-home toilet paper market. The company believes most people will be satisfied with five sheets -- and use 20 percent less toilet paper."
I don't know about anyone else but five thin sheets is insufficient for me.
"Most people will take the amount given," says Thorne. Waxing philosophical, he adds, "People generally in life will take what you give them."
Is that so?

i've been to some public restrooms that have that same type of toilet roll dispenser. i just wave my hand 2-3 times to get what i need. 5 is ridiculous. especially with how thin most of the paper is.
People need more than that, we all can be big assholes sometimes :)
It's not the amount of sheets that bothers me so much as the fact that it never rips where I want it to.
