The Incredible Shrinking Package

[aczlan]

Funny, I noticed the rolls move around on the Holders more than before and was wondering why.
Also, one idea that I am not sure ever really got off the ground, "No center cardboard roll", what's up with that !

No center roll would mean that they have to be a standard size.
I actually saw that in a medical office yesterday. They had just indented the centers on both ends, no hole in the center at all..

Has anybody mentioned that toilet paper rolls have gotten narrower?

As have newspapers...reading the newspaper is like reading a letter written on toilet paper (almost).

Finally! Someone else who actually reads newspapers???

I know it may be archaic but I really enjoy having/reading the morning paper.

I do also, but we can't get them up here anymore.

I’m pretty sure my home delivery days are coming to an end soon ..if not the demise of the local paper itself. I’ll miss it.

We get the Sunday and the Wednesday; I enjoy the front page, local news, the funnies and "find six differences". I also peruse the obits.

You actually found a newspaper?
and it was not 'on line'?

What about the last NEWS STAND you saw?

This is a lot of discussion of shrinkage of newspapers,, but, has anyone PRICED a Sunday paper lately??

The Rinky Dink Roanoke Times Sunday paper is priced at $4,,, that is not for a months worth,, that is ONE COPY!! :confused2:

AND, the Sunday paper today is about the same size as the Thursday paper was 5-10 years ago,, just a tad bigger than other weekday papers,,
That size estimation even includes the Sunday Coupons,,,

Same here but I only get it 5days/wk, have to read it on-line Mon/Tue. The day is coming when even the on-line version may die. Advertising revenue to he newspapers is about nil anymore.

Our local grocery stores carry newspapers, but news stands? I haven't seen one in years.
