Story Update Unable to pull off the "Godfather"-style hit on Zebra with extra-soft toilet paper, the crocs send Bob out for a better weapon... Regular toilet paper
When I was a kid…. you know, when dinosaurs roamed the earth… some packages of toilet paper and almost ALL feminine hygiene products except for a few left out as displays were pre-wrapped in thin brown paper, so that the delicate-natured wouldn’t have to let anyone, especially curious children, see them carrying such things to the counter.
As IF everyone didn’t know what was in that brown paper package. LOL. It only served to make children more curious.
And products used in the prevention of more children, such as fathers and sailors bought, were not only wrapped but had to be asked for at the pharmacy counter.
From mysterious brown packages to rainbow displays in the suoermarket …. we’ve come a long way!
