So I have a new theory that toilet paper folder vs scruncher is actually a nurture trait and not a nature trait - let me explain (also I need your help to prove my theory) Ok - so my postulation is - an individual is born with no natural affinity to either scrunching or folding - this is easily demonstrated by the need for diapers and the completely uncivilized behavior of babies for the first several years of their life (but I digress). And while you may find that parents and children often fall into the same category I will argue there is another factor, besides nature that makes that likely. My theory, as it stands, is that we are nurtured to develop habits of scrunching or folding based on the type of toilet paper primarily purchased in the home we grew up in (which is why parents and children will tend towards the same category). For example, if you grew up in a home where thin toilet paper was purchased, a Brand like Scotts tp (for those not familiar with tp brand names think of the toilet paper in just about every public restroom you have ever been in - the kind that is so thin it rips while you are trying to unroll it) you are more likely to be a scruncher as folding becomes somewhat tedious and impractical given the tp situation. On the other hand, if you grew up in a home that had thick tp - a brand like Charmin (again for the unlearned in tp - think your friends house with the tp so think that it is almost like using a hand towel) you are much more likely to develop habits of folding since scrunching has now become frustrating and more difficult. But I need your help to confirm this - for me the theory works on two accounts that I am scruncher having grown up in a thin tp house - who temporarily was forced to become a folder while living in an apartment with a shared bathroom and roommates who preferred Charmin - but now very gratefully is back to my much preferred scotts in my own home. How about you - does my theory work - are you a folder or a scruncher at heart, and did the house you grow up in have thick or thin tp?
