Four hundred and twenty CASES of 96 rolls of toilet paper. That's 40,320 rolls of toilet paper. If my calculations are correct, a two-person household wouldn’t need to buy toilet paper again until close to the next millennium. Unless they're working with some serious IBS. Even still.
Note: This is just one lot of TP. Greg Berry, founder and CEO of Municibid, says there are for sale 1,500 cases of TP (around 125,000 rolls). Holy shit.
