Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And the units should be consistent. It drives me nuts when I'm in a store and the unit varies across different sizes of the same product.

And each brand has a different tear-off square size. Some have 'jumbo size' and also 'pick-a-size' where its smaller rectangles tear offs instead of squares.

How do you compare? You dont and its by design

Turns per roll on one brand, grams per inch for the next, and ounces per half-roll for your third choice.
