    Quilted Northern bathroom tissue is made by Georgia-Pacific, which is owned by the Koch Brothers. Quilted Northern helps fund the Heritage Foundation which wrote Project 2025 and ushered in this new age of fascism.

    Could I bother you to try a different brand? Charmin is an excellent alternative.

    I could talk toilets for hours. When I bought my house I spent a week pulling the 6 toilets out, scrubbing them outside, installing all new hardware and gaskets then reinstalling. -Only to find they were all horrible toilets.

    I started replacing them one by one trying different brands and options. My favorite is the Champion one piece. It’s a beast to install because it’s literally one giant piece of porcelain. But that also means less chance for a leak in 30 years.

        During the 90’s water usage limits were placed on toilets. Instead of improving the design, manufacturers only made the tanks smaller which didn’t provide enough flushing force.

        Anything more than one piece of toilet paper could cause a clog.

        Current toilets use a larger flush valve or multiple flaps for a more powerful flush than a 1970’s toilet while using half the water.

      My favorite is the Champion one piece. It’s a beast to install because it’s literally one giant piece of porcelain. But that also means less chance for a leak in 30 years.

      About 8 months ago I put in one of the giant one piece porcelain toilets. I got it at Costco in Canada and brought it back to the States. That was an interesting trip through the border crossing back into the USA.

      CBP: “Anything to declare?”
      Me: “No booze, weapons, or tobacco, but I do have a brand new toilet in the back”
      CBP: “You’re free to go”

      It was cheaper than any other dual flush single piece toilet I could find here in the States and I’ve liked its performance in the months since putting it in service.
