For in-between
Who would have thought that there are so many funny things to talk about about an everyday object like the toilet?
Since the WC-Ente® Freshener Seal with Bleach * will take care of the cleaning of your toilet, you have the opportunity to look at the topic of 'toilet' from a completely different perspective.
We spend so much time on the toilet
Overall, we spend a full three years of our lives in the bathroom. Note: Here is not included the time we spend cleaning the toilet.
The most expensive toilet paper in the world
How much money do you spend on your toilet paper? Do you buy recycled paper or do you afford the soft paper with multiple layers? No matter how much money you spend, your toilet paper will certainly not cost you as much as the world's most expensive toilet paper. This consists of gold leaf and costs about one million euros.
Toilet paper Consumption
About 20 sheets of toilet paper should consume German citizens on average a day. For a whole year, that would be about 1 kilometer of toilet paper.
The first toilet paper
The very first toilet paper was made in 1391 for none other than the Chinese emperor. Of course it can not be compared with our toilet paper today. At that time a leaf was still half a square meter in size. In 1857, the paper was first produced in the West. The typical role form, as we know it today, arose a little later in the US and England. First, toilet paper was sold under the title 'paper curlers'. This product name was considered less offensive. In Germany, toilet paper came on the market for the first time in 1928.
On November 19th is World Toilet Day
There is actually a separate day each year for almost every topic. So it should not be surprising that there is also a World Toilet Day. This takes place since 2001 on 19 November. The background for the introduction of World Toilet Day, however, is serious. More than 40 percent of the world's people do not have the necessary sanitary facilities.
