Here is a question…or a quandary really.
Why does toilet paper here (in France) look like a collection of so many boiled sweets?
Pink, green, lilac, orange…all in tones of a lightly powdered marshmallow. Not only are these rolls of non-chafing-velour-touch-bum-paper decorative, they can also be scented. Who needs a garish scented candle to add a touch of class when you have a toilet paper so advanced that it smells and looks like a linden tree?
What I think it really boils down to is this. The French are a bit dodgy when it comes to toilets. Forget about toilet paper as a necessity…they (many-a-time) are lacking a proper toilet-seat! So in my humble opinion, the presence of a bounty of any sort of toilet paper is an ode to the royal throne room.
A toilet seat? Hazaah!
Toilet paper? Double-Hazaah!
Scented-colored-feast-for-the-eyes-and-elsewhere-tp? Forget the hazaah-ing! Break out the champagne!
Or maybe the first Frenchie that whipped off their rose-colored-glasses discovered to their dismay that papier toilette was not the dusky rose color he hoped it was, blamed Edith Piaf and started a toilet-paper manufacturing company.
