Since we've moved to France we have discovered many differences in U.S. products and French made products. One of the funniest and remarkably enough, hardest to rationalize is the disposal of toilet paper rolls.
Now it clearly states on the roll that it can be discarded directly into the toilet, and even has a little picture to illustrate it for you. But this is something that I got in trouble for as a kid in the states, and had it drummed into me time and again, "You don't throw things into the toilet!" Especially after my father had to deal with a clogged toilet due to little green army men or toads. So I first put one in a glass of water to see what would happen (always the scientist).

It dissolves remarkably fast! Now for the actual drop test into a real toilet.
Drop and flush, no problem. But it still feels wrong. Am I gonna get a spanking for this?
