tissue paper replacement awards
inspires tissue replacement by those less likely

I suggest a reward for the replacement of tissue paper. With the competitiveness of tissue companies, we should be able to get one to offer something to the person who gets the next roll or box from the tissue keeping place.

I suggest that they color the last few sheets a little different, on the natural side, or with ads printed on them for rewards to be had by tissue-replacement-instant-winners.

When a person reaches this zone they are entitled, by moral standard, to reach for a new replacement that has an instant win peel off sticker attached to the first sheet. When pulled, the box or roll is ready for easy use by the next user and a prize, or "sorry, please try again", symbol is revealed.

The winner can keep this little tag to him/her self and simply enter a code number at a web site to have his reward shipped. ( when there is no more tissue the person sees that tissue is added to the shopping list and is entitled to a bonus sticker that comes inside every specially marked box or package of “New & Improved” tissue)

The odds of winning should be high and should vary greatly in size. Of coarse these may all be removed at once by a person without honor, but if used properly this system could help keep tissue where it should be when you need it.

For those who can’t stop playing to win, the tissue company web site has a game and chat room where they can make themselves at home with other obsessed players and unroll and grab tissue to their hearts content. Odds of winning may be much smaller. OK, that’s a bit sick.

       I live on my own. I use last tissue. I get new roll from behind bath. I win.   

       I think I need a drink.

       How about something that notifies the tissue purchaser that the final package of tissue has been removed from the bulk storage location and more should be purchased on the next trip to the store.

       Infinitely better than scratch'n'sniff toilet paper.
Chocolate wasn't nearly the hit we thought it would be.
