The one that lists sheets is at least using a verifiable metric. It’s better than the “right rolls of unspecified size are more than 39 different rolls of unspecified size”.
Still silly because no one knows how many sheets they use before changing the roll, but at least it’s reasonable silly.
Helps that they tend to be square-ish, there’s a subsection of people who would notice immediately if you can’t fold perfect paper cranes from a single sheet while you’re pooping.
The label usually says total surface area in the package. The stores near me break the price down to cost per unit of area, as well. This really untangles the 'how much should I pay for a quadrahedroll vs a dodecca butt sphere" worth of paper?

Isn’t it the same problem tho, since they can make the sheets smaller and say there’s more without actually offering a longer roll?
We need legally defined toilet paper roll standards.
Lets setup some ISO standards for shit wipers.
I would be shocked if there isn’t already one. The trick is getting companies to adhere to it.
Oh, totally. It’s by no means a good measurement, it’s just the only one that’s in some way tied to anything tangible. “8=39” doesn’t mean anything.

pretty sure they are rectangles
Which matters more total kg or mm2 ?
Kg for sure, i wouldn’t trust tp with a low cost per mm²
I also don’t trust a toilet paper with a low gsm.
Maybe we need both a gsm and total weight labeling.
