Ok...since you threw in a little more incentive as far as winning this contest goes: I multiplied the weight of one sheet by 176, added the weight of the carboard core (assuming that it is unscented) and the weight of the glue that adheres the first sheet to the roll and the last sheet to the cardboard core, took into consideration the velocity of an unladen swallow (given the fact that it has to flap its wings 43 times per minute in order to maintain proper air-speed velocity) and subtracted the price of tea in China. Voila: 2.95 oz

Hmmmmmmmm I guess I will be the ONLY ONE in the world who will know the true weight of a roll of toilet paper!!! This information could be crucial when I am a contestant on JEOPARDY!!!

Have you ever thought about the fact that your toilet paper is so cheap that each roll in the package has a different weight? I dare you to weigh each roll individually, jot down the numbers, find an avarage and then get back to me with your findings.
