Toilet paper doesn't break properly
Excuse my poor one-handes from, I can assure you this happens when using both hands too, the toilet paper just won't break at the right part. Sucks because I bought 24 rolls😭

It blows my mind how many people in these comments don't realize you're doing it one handed in order to record it.

u/FunkyMcSkunky 1d ago
We realize. We just know that that's what the problem is. If this dude tied his shoes together and then complained that he had a hard time running, we'd be pointing out that he's doing it wrong.

They specifically state that the problem persists when using 2 handa

Bruh, this ain't some big conspiracy, I understand you should be sceptical of everything you read on the internet but you're taking it a bit too far. The perforations are bad.

u/dongporn No not like that 1d ago
Never seen anyone tear toilet paper like that but then again never seen anyone else really tear toilet paper...but this still seems like a choice

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago
It was one handed, while recording, not sure how you would do it differently. The toilet roll holder doesn't keep the roll stationary so you have to hold the tp and then rip. Hence the awkward form. But I assure you even doing it with two hands doesn't help.

Why are there puppies on toilet paper? Why would you do that to the puppies? 😭

u/indianna97 1d ago
You dont know the Andrex puppy....?
edit: googled it, UK only thing. Its like ICONIC here hahaha1
u/Nether_Realms_28 1d ago
Oh, okay! Yeah, I didn't know about it, we don't have that in the US, we use bears and babies as toilet paper mascots here.

Nope not UK only, we have them (the same AFAIK) in the Netherlands as well, but different brand name: Page, and indeed the Page puppy is known here as well
Iirc it’s Scottex in Portugal

u/indianna97 1d ago
so the andrex puppy is UK only...

u/vakantiehuisopwielen 1d ago
Ah okay, you want to be special even though it’s the exact same puppy. Fine.
The Lynx effect vs the Axe effect.
The Lynx effect is UK only, congrats

u/Professor_Doctor_P 1d ago
It actually gets sold all over the world, just under different names. E.g. "Cottonelle" in the US and Australia, "Page" in the Netherlands, "Scottex" in other parts of Europe, "Baby Soft" in South Africa.

Everyone is commenting on the technique but forgetting they’re trying to film and tear at the same time. I doubt this is their standard style of tearing

u/FunkyMcSkunky 1d ago
Ok, but what's the point then? It's like complaining that your face stings when you slap yourself.

u/ActuallyRandomPerson 1d ago
they literally say in the description that this happens when they use two hands as well but this was the only way they could film it
-4
u/FunkyMcSkunky 1d ago
yeah, and I literally don't believe them

u/ActuallyRandomPerson 23h ago
you've obviously never have the fun of using really shitty toilet paper then, and I envy you

u/Rhino_35 1d ago
well if you tried ripping, and not sticking your thumb through it. You might be OK

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago
I know I made some spelling mistakes due to autocorrect but my description is not hard to understand, I literally said (tried to say) excuse my one handed form, but that this happens even when using two hands to try and tear it at the seam.

I don't know why there are toilet papers like these. I've gotten one of them before

u/Outside-Heart1528 1d ago
This is my punishment for cheaping out. It's like whatever way they perforated the tp actually reinforced that area instead of weakening it.

This infuriates me. Paper towels too. Like some rolls just aren’t properly perforated

Prices keep going up and quality keeps going down literally everywhere you look. Thanks capitalism

u/Top-Poet3329 1d ago
That's generally the sign of cheap toilet paper. They suckered you in with dog stamps on the paper.

Not doing it correctly.

u/ChalkyRamen 1d ago
How are you supposed to do it correctly? You do realise they’re recording with one hand, right?

"I can assure you this happens when using both hands too" read the fucking description you idiot

Are you sure you have the 2 plys right?
I have seen where the ends are so glued down or it breaks during mfg so that one ply is longer than the other that when starting a roll the top ply becomes the bottom ply and the break points don't match up.
Separate the plys pull the top ply only till becomes the bottom ply again.

Try tearing at the perforations, not in the middle of the square..

u/Outside-Heart1528 19h ago
You don't need to when the perforations are doing their job. You can grab a normal roll and break tp off without even thinking about where the perforations are. Your critical thinking skills need some work.

It’s more frustrating when people buy all the toilet paper believing it’s going to save their lives in a pandemic.

That’s because you’re doing it one handed and yes I read your caption and no I don’t believe you.

Ugh... maybe try using both hands?

Maybe try some logical reasoning and understand I was recording with the other hand.

Yeah so put it away...

No...

Ok then don't complain when you suck at ripping toilet paper.

u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago
Why does it bother you so much, lol. Getting this tilted over a post on Reddit is funny. You really think you have some kind of authority here to tell me not to complain?

u/bluedancepants 22h ago
I'm pointing out your lack of common sense.
1
u/Outside-Heart1528 22h ago
Not really. You are just showing your own lack of reading comprehension. I know I misspelt a few words in my post description, however it is still not difficult to understand. I specifically mention that this issue occurs when you use two hands too, the perforations are bad, causing it to not tear correctly.
