Why? Your rate of use depends on the size of the sheet, not the total
sq ft per roll or hundred ft 2. That is one of my pet peeves. About
10 or 15 years ago, the paper towel rolls suddenly changed from being a
square sheet to a rectangle so you used about 1/3 more towel per use
than prior. Neat way to get people to buy more towels without using
any more sheets IOW a subtle customer rip-off.


Yep. And toilet paper has gone from 5x5 sheets to 4x4, tuna from 7 oz cans to 6
oz, coffee from 16 ounce cans to 13 or 12 and Lays Potato chips from 16 ounces
to 12. Hate companies that sneak price increases through that way.
