    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?

          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.

      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.

          I also don’t trust a toilet paper with a low gsm.

          Maybe we need both a gsm and total weight labeling.
