Mouseprint

You know all of the fine print that we seldom read? Well, there's a web site that keeps track of it and posts some of the more interesting, annoying, and important fine print surprises that come up. Check it out at www.mouseprint.org.

For example, Scott recently released a “Now Improved!” version of their 1000 sheet toilet paper saying in an ad that it is an “improved long-lasting value.” “Now with a new soft-textured pattern — and long-lasting convenience.”

The MOUSE PRINT: Each of the 1000 sheets is now 3.7 inches instead of the old 4.0 inches long, thus making each roll 300 inches shorter. For all the details, click on the toilet paper below.
