Charmin Ultra Soft™:
Price/Square foot: $0.50/sheet
2-Ply
Notable Qualities:
- Super soft! Super cushiony! At least the house will feel cozy
- 2x more absorbent in case the October rainy season hits hard
4/5 stars; less is more
Charmin Ultra Strong™:
Price/Square foot: $0.34/sheet
2-Ply
Notable Qualities:
- “Strong when wet.” How does it work? No one knows, but use this with confidence knowing that rain will only make your prank more diabolical.
- “Washcloth-like” strength. If you ever feel guilty about pranking, you can always do some charity work and scrub their house instead.
2/5 stars; try ultra soft instead
Northwood Bathrooms:
Price/Square foot: $0.0008/sheet
1-Ply
Notable Qualities:
- Speaking of utility, this toilet paper doubles as 1000 grit sandpaper. Bad for your bottom, good for sanding down uneven corners on a dovetail joint.
- No pre-tear lines makes for easy dispensing in mass quantities
- It’s basically transparent, so the victims won’t even notice.
- Economical and accessible. Quantity over quality.
5/5 stars; practical, lawful evil
Quilted Northern EcoComfort™:
Price/Square foot: $1.67/sheet
2-Ply
Notable Qualities:
- Expensive as… Well, you know…
- Energy efficient manufacturing, 100% renewable power, and 100% recyclable packaging
- Sustainable Forestry InitiativeⓇ Fiber Sourcing Standard Certified
- Wasting a whole roll for the sake of a prank. C’mon kids, this is a natural resource we’re using here! Think of the trees crying as you dangle their brethren over pointy houses when they could be wiping your rear end. But hey… at least they’re Sustainable Forestry InitiativeⓇ Certified trees.
- Still soft
5/5 stars; environmentally friendly, classy and boujee
Angel Soft™:
Price/Square foot: $0.18/sheet
2-Ply
Notable Qualities:
- None. The pinnacle of mediocrity. Pathetic.
0/5 stars; we’re over-achievers and this one really isn’t it.
Charmin Sensitive™:
Price/Square foot: $0.39/sheet
2-Ply
Notable Qualities:
- Infused with soothing Vitamin E and Aloe to relieve the most sensitive caboose

- An old, dry house would be happy to be T.P.-ed by this.
3/5 stars; would be better if scented
