Winner – #
After months of America voting on which way people roll their toilet paper,  it has been decided – 72% of Americans roll over!  While I will not be changing to rolling over my toilet paper because I am a roll under kind of girl – I am thrilled to say that the Cottonelle debate has caused Cottonelle to make their toilet even softer and stronger.  They have fondly named this new product Cottonelle Roll Over in honor of all those who “roll over”.

What Does Rolling Over Say About Americans?

The vote to roll over says more about Americans than just their toilet paper placement style. To gain insight into how America rolls and why, the brand commissioned a survey of 1,000 Americans ages 18-65+ and found that:

• Those who prefer hanging their toilet paper over are more likely to have engaged in flipping the direction of the roll at a friend’s home, with 27 percent of “overs” admitting to doing so.
• In addition to being more apt to switch the way the roll hangs at friends’ homes, those who prefer to roll over seem to be more particular about the whole subject. For instance:
• “Overs” are most likely to notice the direction the toilet paper is hanging (74 percent).
• “Overs” are more likely to be annoyed when the roll is the wrong way (24 percent).

Cottonelle brand consulted Dr. Gilda Carle, psychotherapist and internationally renowned relationship expert, for her observations on basic character traits associated with how people roll. According to Dr. Gilda, “People who roll over like taking charge, crave organization and are likely to overachieve.  It seems to me that Americans are passionate about rolling over due to the sense of control that it gives them.”
