Black is the New Brown


4 hours to kill in Via 1 this evening so Sheena pulls out the stash of newspapers that have been collecting for the last 48 hours to catch up on some reading. One of the papers (and I don't remember which one) had a little blurb on something that caught my attention. Fired up the Club Car Wi-fi (so far great signal) and continued my self-education on this important matter.


Yes. The world has now been made safe for black toilet paper.



According to Fox News online, this steaming new product is cleaning up in Europe, laying waste to the traditional white and pastels found in hot bistros and bars. It's wiped out the competition from more traditional brands in Portugal, France and even Australia where it is sold online. Plans are to flush it through the distribution channel in the US and Canada next year and I can't possibly see how sales would tank in the current culture of designer housewares.

But as one who enjoys a good curry. A hearty salad. And has a streak of lactose intolerance, Sheena has but one question:

How exactly does one know when one is 'done'?

Thank God somebody is still blogging on this work from hell night. A worthy post as well!
This reminds me of those turd-brown toilets everyone got in the seventies...impossible to tell if they were clean.
I think there will be a lot of skid-marked underwear until the fad is over.

Black toilet paper? I get a UTI just reading about it. I guess the papier noir crowd has a short memory..

No worries, Pam.
