As the United States eagerly anticipates the arrival of National Toilet Paper Day on Friday 26 August (which promises even more 'alternative reality' than recently predicted for the Presidential race by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton), the time has come to take stock of one of life's greatest inventions...
It's time to pause for a moment and give praise to the greatest creation of all time. It's there by our side in our most intimate moments - from keeping us clean and being there when we're sick, to wiping away tears during the highs and lows of our lives. Yes, we're talking about toilet paper!
Did you know that this Friday, August 26 is National Toilet Paper Day and that more than seven billion rolls of toilet paper are sold yearly in the U.S. alone?
Veritiv, the leading North America business-to-business distributor of print, publishing, packaging and facility solutions headquartered in Atlanta, sells almost half a billion rolls of toilet paper each year. That's enough to stretch from the Earth to the moon and back 31 times!
To commemorate the national holiday and most monumentous of occasions, the company is treating visitors to the FM Industry website with the fact-packed, downloadable PDF infographic which may be found elsewhere on this page, and a special video that is available here.
