Title: Toilet paper site claims it calculates how long your supply will last

It’s one of the key questions as Americans wait out the coronavirus (https://www.foxnews.com/category/health/infectious-disease/coronavirus) outbreak at home: How long will my stash of toilet paper last?
A new website (https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/websites) called “How much toilet paper?” claims it can roll out an answer for you.
Simply set the top bar to how many rolls you currently have, then set the second bar to how many average bathroom visits you make per day – and the website’s calculator does the rest.
If you have a standard package of four rolls, for example, the website says that will last you 32 days if you make an average of two bathroom visits per day.

Lol, I have doubled the number of squares this last week, due to having to switch brands (cheap one-ply)... From 3 squares to 6, with optional second wipe consuming another 3 squares of the one ply. Hey some days are clean breaks, some days are not. **

** Unless I have having a poopy day.... It happens.

One thing I am hoping for is that after this fiasco, that retailers refuse to give refunds on the products from the hoarders.  Let them drown in their TP.

 888high58888  Who in the heck knows how many squares of TP that they use at any given time?  Not all toilet paper is created equal, nor are all bathroom "habits" equal.

Noticed some viral video that didn't do Trump any good today... Lady and her husband bought ever freaking box of toilet paper from a Dollar General or something and some lady confronted them about it... The lady that confronted them ended up making them look like fools when she asked the lady hoarder if she was a Trump fan... The lady opened her big pie-hole and said she was.... and just went on and on about Trump... Just made me shriek "shut up" lady and just take your 20 huge boxes of toilet paper and leave. Yep there had to be 20 huge boxes (or more) of toilet paper, they bought out the whole store.

Well what  Sheryl never told anyone is that her 'bath tissue' sheets aren't the standard 4"X4", hers are 24"X24".

Would it take into account the 16 in. tall stack of old phonebooks I have. How about an old Sears/Roebuck catalogue or two.
