That didn't sound right, so I googled it. Sure enough, no zinc in TP rolls:

I'd be happy if we could just decide on one type, and be done with it. I've actually had this conversation in the toilet paper aisle of the supermarket:
*RING RING*
"Hey honey...it's me. I'm trying to get toilet paper. What kind do we normally get? What do they have? Lots and lots....which one do we get....bears?...hmmm...I see a baby floating in a cloud...a couple of babies...one of them has something on her head.....there's the one with puppies....2 puppies?...I see one with three puppi...oh wait...I see the bears...which one should I get?....hmmmm...okay, there's a bear that's mooning me, and then there's a bunch of bears having a picnic....I should get the picnic bears one?....OK."
If it ain't broke ........ Just saying!
Best Regards,

If the manufacturers save 1 penny per roll, that's $17 million a year (based on info in Phil's link). That's the reason for the change so don't tell me it's an environmental issue. I was born at night, but not last night.
While you are all fussing about the new no roll paper, the manufacturers have slyly reduced the width of the roll by at least a quarter of an inch. The missus noticed this about six months back and started switching brands to keep the wider rolls. Now most of them seem to have gone to the skinny roll. I'm surprised because I haven't noticed a corresponding reduction in the size of our populations' bottoms.
Maybe taking the roll out was nothing but a diversion for the skinnier sheets.

Costco still has their house brand with full size sheets......right next to the Charmin that was made smaller.
I personally don't like TP that is really plush and thick. It is too hard to wipe with. I like the Target store brand TP. They started making the rolls bigger , but now the cores have gotten huge! The big rolls probably have the same amount of paper now as the old standard size rolls. The TP holders at my parent's house don't work very well with big rolls so I would just as well have a standard size roll.
Oh, it doesn't even have to take. They've been around for a while. :/

Not all chemicals are bad. Without hydrogen or oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
