    The rolls now have more sheets per roll, so six rolls gets you the same number of sheets as eight normal sized rolls.

      6 of this product with 200 sheets each (1200 total) = 8 competitor products with only 150 sheets each (1200 total).

      They are missing a ×200 and ×150 in their equation. They are trying to remind you that this isnt shrinkflation! … So they can normalize 6 rolls per pack and shrinkflate later

        For sure. I’m a die hard unit price shopper, except for paper towels. That select-a-size really makes you think. How often do I use two or more smaller sheets at once…UGH just get these.

      ah, okay that makes sense i guess

      it’s still such a weird thing lol, like at least usually they’d explicitely say “as much sheets as 8 rolls!” somewhere
