    We have this in the US for most things too, at least in Ohio where I’m from, not sure about other states or if it’s a federal thing. I’m not an expert on the law of it, but I can’t think off the top of my head anything that doesn’t have it.

    I believe paper towels and TP are $ per square foot or smth like that

      Square foot isn’t a great estimate for toilet paper, because within certain limits no one cares about the width of their TP. This means manufacturers will enshittify their products by making the rolls slightly wider (but fewer sheets). The packaging makes it seem like they’re selling the same amount, but you suddenly find yourself needing to buy more.
