whatever happened to 10s???
The economy happened.
I can't say I can recall tens though. I seem to recall them being 9s, 18s, 36s, and 1000 half-ply rolls from the chinese store...

I think they send all of the third child females to the factories to flatten single-ply toilet paper with a heavy-duty rolling pin...

Usually they come packaged 2x2, 3x3, 3x4, 4x4. I've never seen 2x5, that would be an inconvenient shape.

Wtf is a half ply? That sounds dangerous.

half ply is where the paper does half the work - your finger that flew right through the paper inadvertently lands up completing the remaining half of the job.

I hate the internet

Likely that the 9s replaced the 10s at the same price.
I have noticed that a lot of products are sold in smaller tins or jars at no reduced cost - a sneaky way of increasing prices.
Same with chocolate - 90gm instead of 100gm.
Same with all gold tomato sauce.

I always buy either Twinsaver or Baby Soft 2 ply. Can't use 1 ply at home, it just feels wrong. It's amazing how the price fluctuates though - at the beginning of the month you pay over R50 for a pack of 9 rolls. Wait a week or so and the price always drops to around R40 a pack.

9 packs are standard in the 2 ply world.
They would make you believe 2 ply goes further then the 10 pack one ply...
Im not talking about the grey, nylon based crap you get at a spaza or an Indian/Chinese wholesaler.
As a guy i would like to debunk the myth and add that a 10 pack of good 1 ply like twinsaver would last longer.
Puppy dogs and flowers and im expected to pay more for less?
I think they target this more at women?
If im wrong forgive me, but i find the thinner quality 1 ply works better then the thicker more then the 3 pass technique, most would heave you believe.
