Self-Gratification
of the Day Award

For the most unnecessary - but coolest - product, website, or doodad of the day.

The Winner for May 17, 2001

Revenge Toilet Paper

It's not difficult to understand. If you take a product that exists only for basic human survival, alter it so that it's nearly unusable, and then sell it because it's nearly unusable, you're going to qualify for the Self-Gratification Award.

On that note, let us congratulate the makers of Revenge Toilet Paper for their contribution to the world of unnecessary goods and services. You see, Revenge Toilet Paper is very similar to regular toilet paper, except for one little detail. It can't be torn.

According to the Twisted Gifts website, this item is very popular with college students. I can see why. Revenge Toilet Paper would have gone very nicely with our Log Log, which was available with a pen inside each bathroom stall on our dorm floor. (I can only imagine what someone's entry in the Log would have looked like after coping with non-tearable toilet paper. Extreme dissatisfaction, I suppose.)
