Toilet Paper Through the Eyes of a Barbie

Can you guess what this is? My-Oh-My it is a GIANT ROLL OF TOILET PAPER! That's right, this roll of toilet paper rolls out to be about 35 miles long! It is real toilet paper, just super-sized! It is still 2-ply and everything!
You might be wondering how I acquired this monstrous roll of T.P. Well you see, we know someone who used to work at a factory where they make gigantic roles of toilet paper and then they send it off to toilet paper/facial tissue companies that cut it down to the right size. So this is what your handy-dandy box of Kleenex tissues looks like before it gets cut into convenient little squares! And if you were going to cut this for toilet paper, a machine would add in the perforations so there would be the perforated line separating each square of T.P.
Something no one really EVER thinks about it where your toilet paper comes from- or, well, I have never thought of where toilet paper comes from.. it's just always kinda been there! Well now I know all that goes into making toilet paper ;) That should be VERY useful in life! Hahaha
In the first picture, the giant T.P. roll is sitting next to the toilet-- it is taller than the actual toilet!! In the second picture, the monster roll of paper is up against a wall next to a yard stick. As you can see, it is about 3/4 as tall as the yardstick! Lastly, the third picture shows the fresh-from-the-factory paper next to a REGULAR roll of toilet paper, just to put it all in perspective ;) The regular roll could fit inside the whole in the middle of the giant roll! That's crazy!
I feel like the mega-toilet paper roll should have a name! Maybe I should name it?? Hahaha, because it takes too long to say 'giant toilet paper roll' and it would be so much more fun to just call it by a name! Hmm... I'll have to think of some ideas ;)
