Given Dawn's ass fascination it's no surprise that a news blurb in The Economist regarding differences in Europeans' toilet paper preferences piqued.

According to the European Union's outgoing "director general of fair trading," Brits demand the biggest and softest sheet of arsewipe, and they're willing to pay twice as much as the French and Germans for premium toilet paper weighing four grams more per square meter (than continental brands) due to its higher soft-fiber content.

While Dawn was interested to read of the "historical reasons" Brits pay more attention to their toilet paper, missing in the discussion was an explanation as to why aloe-laced toilet paper seems only spottily available here in the United States, surely the world's super power in ass-cleaning options.
