We’ve all had arguments like this before: Should the toilet paper roll over or under? BrandFreak is a fan of the former, though Kimberly-Clark, one of the nation’s largest TP makers, is helping Americans to decide once and for all. (Thank goodness!) K-C, which makes the Scott and Cottonelle brands, has launched a contest that encourages consumers to vote for "under" or "over" at CottonelleRollPoll.com. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are leading the charge. (Tori is "a firm believer in rolling over," while Dean is "an under kind of guy," according to K-C). You have till March 6 to vote, though we have some stats in the meantime (courtesy of K-C) that might surprise you. 1) Of 1,000 adults surveyed, one in five get annoyed when the TP is hanging the wrong way; 2) Men are more likely to notice and be pissed off (if it’s not to their preferences, that is); 3) one in five admit to flipping the toilet paper if it’s not to their liking, even in someone else’s home. Another interesting tidbit: "Overs" are usually overachievers and super-organized; "unders" are laid-back. Those who don’t care tend to "minimize conflict" and "value flexibility." OK, yes, we’re in the overachiever group.
