Recently purchased packages of Northern bath issues 48 rolls 2X. After putting on the paper holder I notice it looked miniature and better being in a doll house then on the toilet paper holder.
I had an old roll left and got the ruler out and measured. Low and behold Georgia-Pacific maker of Northern Bath Tissue had reduced the height of the roll by a 1/2" and even the number of sheets have been reduced. The width of the roll is something like 1/8" narrower.
I contacted Gerogia-Pacific and they admitted reducing the role size. There product is good and they wanted to cut costs. Well they cut loose a customer. I will not accept this reduction in size. It's like the old one pound can (16oz) is now only 13-14 oz. If you keep letting them get away with this kind of crap by the time they are done you'll have to use your hand.

We understand you may have some concerns about the roll width and/or
sheet count of Quilted Northern Soft & Strong (r). As noted at the
bottom of the package, Quilted Northern Soft & Strong (r) is about
1/2 inch narrower than before, and we have slightly reduced the sheet
count.
Because of today's economy, cost is a factor. We made the decision
to slightly reduce the roll to bring you the bathroom tissue you trust
and not raise our price to retailers. Quilted Northern Soft & Strong
continues to provide the cleanliness and comfort you have come to expect,
making it a great value in today's economy. As always, Quilted Northern
Soft & Strong (r) is thick, absorbent, and gentle on your skin. The
bathroom tissue features strength and durability for cleanliness, with
softness and thickness for comfort. With Quilted Northern Soft & Strong
(r), you do not have to compromise comfort for clean."
I didn't say it wasn't a good product. However, the size reduction is so
significant it's not worth buying. Cut out bleaching and reduce costs
in more effective and environmentally friendly manner. They are thinking
of costs and ways to get you to buy more frequently and I am thinking of
functionality not to mention the LOOKS of such a small roll give the
impression of CHEAP toilet paper.
