Toilet paper is often correctly called tissue paper where I live. We aren't all from your part of the world. Patrick, not everyone speaks your version of English.

That is completely different from what most of us either call "toilet paper" or "toilet tissue" (and what advertisers call "bathroom tissue"). So, while I still wouldn't want to eat it, what exactly is "gross" about eating tissue paper? I’m sorry - but “tissue paper” is the stuff that goes inside a giftbox- around a shirt, for instance.

I wonder if he tried it. I remember a 2nd-grader theorizing that if you ate toilet paper, you’d “wipe” as you “go” and wouldn’t need to take any additional steps.

Why eat tissue paper when certain vegetables will fill you up without calories...like celery and lettuce? That’s pretty gross all right…and is it even true?
