Years ago, I travelled thru Scotland where I encountered TP that was actually WAXED on both sides.
Yep.
Like coarse waxed paper.
It was worse than the newspaper ads on shiny paper you would get in your Sunday newspaper.
But THE ABSOLUTE WORST was in the Pacific Rim where even MODERN restaurants had a circular hole in the red tile FLOOR in which to **** in, and a wastebasket next to that hole which you were REQUIRED to deposit your paper waste because there was no flush system.
Then you could resume joining your table guests and consume your meal.
