You think that sucks........our battalion was cross-training with a British battalion in the late '70's in Germany. Used their latrine and discovered something totally weird. TP that was essentially wax paper with some sort of flocked paper-like substance on one side. Completely worthless unless you liked scraping your nether region raw.
We traded some good American TP with the Brits for some nice spirits. They were quite glad to make the trade.........got some Brit field jackets, pants, and Wooly-Pully sweaters out of it, too. All for some proper TP.
