I had a toilet paper holder in the half-bath off the entry hall that didn't use a spindle, rather, it used two spring-loaded bars from either end. You pushed the TP roll from underneath and they snapped into the holes.
This worked, until Scott made the TP roll narrower, then they fell right out. I wrote to them and complained. I said, "Why didn't you just raise the price, instead of making the roll narrower so now it doesn't fit?" I got a formula letter in reply plus a couple coupons.

Id put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we dont have to wait til oil and coal run out before we tackle that. I wish I had a few more years left. -- Thomas Edison♽☯♑ On Jul 5, 2011, Michael G. Koerner <[email protected]> wrote: I'd wonder why not 500 mL (an even half-liter). As it stands now, it is a slightly smaller size than the competitors and over the past couple of years, product package portion sizes have been noticeably shrinking. Just a few months ago, Kimberly-Clark even shrank the sizes of their rolls of Scott 1000 TP. Previously, they were 115 mm wide, now they are 104 mm wide - 10% smaller (yep, same price as before).
