The toilet paper shortage is in Finland :)

Pittsburghers hoard toilet paper at the drop of a snowflake, but the crisis in Finland is real. Reuters reports that labor strife has shut the country's paper mills. No question toilet paper is one of life's essentials, but the Finns have a special affinity, according to a Canadian blogger (talltales.typepad.com) who lived in Helsinki long before the crisis. His apartment had two toilet paper holders in each of two bathrooms: "There are more varieties of toilet paper than any other consumer product at my local grocery store. Single-ply, two-ply, two-ply with padding, scented two-ply with padding, three-ply, embossed three-ply, gold-plated three-ply and on and on. I believe toilet paper in Finland is a source of patriotic pride. (I should point out that Nokia [the cell phone giant] was founded in the mid-1800's as a pulp and paper company, which manufactured -- you guessed it -- toilet paper.) I suspect the need for two toilet roll holders is a result of varying consumer demands. Imagine living in a household where only one type of toilet paper was available? Many Finns, apparently, cannot." Now, they're living the nightmare. |
