This Particular Shipment Smells Awful!
We have used this brand for years; used to purchase from the grocery store, then have subscribed to Amazon for last 5-6 months or so instead. The product itself stinks very badly in the September shipment only. And I still have so much of it. I notice every time I put the tissue to my face to blow my nose or blot make-up. It is very unpleasant, and intolerable. The product is not musty or does not seem water damaged, etc after packaging. Instead the odor seems inherent to the product, as the smell occurs with all rolls, and throughout use of the entire roll. Perhaps it was just an anomaly with this shipment. So we will continue with November shipment to see if corrected. If it is not, we will not order this product ever again. I hope the manufacturer is not "pawning off" inferior product to Amazon customers in bulk.
A secondary issue is also occurring: the size of the "double" rolls is diminishing over time. I thought I was imagining this, but I've compared rolls from a year ago to six months ago to Sep shipment. And the reduction in size is easily seen and measured. This is kind of insulting, but maybe is just an inevitable sign of the times with all manufacturers? Very disappointing anyway.
For both of these issues - I blame Georgia Pacific, not Amazon. But want you to be aware. Frankly, I just don't want to spend this much time thinking about toilet paper. :)
