Over or under?
As long as there’s been toilet paper in the world, the debate of which way it should hang has raged on.
Each option comes with its own benefits. Those pro “over” (about 70% of the population) argue it’s more sanitary and easier to find the end. Those who hold the torch for “under” say it’s harder for pets to unravel and looks tidier.
While each has its pros and cons, there’s been a definitive answer all along. According to patents filed way back in 1871, toilet paper is meant to hang over the dispenser. Sorry, under fans.
Speaking of, check out the sections under this intro for new job opportunities that might go over well.
