There were also toilet paper with prints (ie white paper with pink flowers). With so much past selection in hues and prints, why are relegated to rows of boring, nonprinted, bleach white toilet paper today?

I also remember my Grandmother thinking there was a TP shortage in the '70s. She used to mail us boxes of it. Yep. a few squirrels in the ol' family tree.
