Richard Thorne of Kimberly Clark’s Professional division is giving Sheryl Crow something to think about. Instead of her recommended 2-sheet minimum, how about five?
This new electronic toilet paper dispenser automatically dispenses five sheets at a time and runs on (4) D-sized batteries. The device will retail for $30 (plastic) or you can upgrade to stainless steel for a mere $55.
It’s not completely automated and features an emergency feed button should the need arise. And there is also the “rescue roll” featured on the side if you’re simply old fashion and want to use toilet paper the way God intended.
Sean Nichols, a marketer for this device, is already shipping the unit to late-night comedians for more exposure hoping to generate buzz to improve sales in this 1 billion “…away from home toilet paper market.”
I wonder who will feature it first on their late-night talk show? I’m guessing Conan O’Brien.
Two people Santa doesn’t want sitting in his lap: Sheryl Crow and anyone who’s butt has just been High-Fived.
