Safeway recently changed the packaging of their toilet papers and now they're more distinctive. Prior to this change, the only difference one could really discern was that one plastic wrap was blue, another teal. Now, one's greenish with ducklings on it, another is purple with a swan on it (kinda scary-looking swan, too, if you ask me). The one I like is the blue one with the white bunny on it. I've had enough time to stare at this package when I sit on the crapper at home, so I knew which package I wanted.
Safeway Beretania, however, didn't have any on the shelf. Just so happens when Lucy and I were looking for toilet paper, one of Safeway's employees asked if he could help. I told him I wanted the toilet paper with the white bunny on it. He was confused. They just changed the packaging, said he. Yes. I there were no bunnies on it before, but now there is. See how this one is greenish with duckies? This one's purple-ish with the swan? I want the blue one with the bunny. Despite thinking I'm a looney (it was plain on his face), he went in search of white bunnies. And came back bearing gifts, but was quick to say to me, "I think they're all the same."
But they're not! While Lucy and I waited, we noticed how the swan package proclaimed "Strongest"! and the duckies boasted "Softest!". I even showed her the tiny quilting and explained I didn't want that. Sure enough when we inspected the bunny package, it read "soft & strong". We like the best of both worlds, thank you.
