You are all getting really off topic here. This is supposed to be 'useless fact', not interesting fact. I'm reading all these with a "really/no/never/extraordinary!!!!"

83,048,116 rolls of toilet paper are produced each day globally with over 5,000 companies jostling for market space.

There are 520 sheets pf dual-ply paper on a standard roll of toilet tissue.  Most toilet tissue is made from recycled paper, however the packaging that it comes in is usually fairly high-grade (therefore less ecologically friendly) than the contents.

In the UK, women will typically use over 3.2 times the amount of toilet paper as men in the course of their life, except in Bradford where the curries are notorious for their total cleansing properties.  Toliet Paper is inappropriately named- usage studies have shown that its 'primary function' constitutes only 42% of overall usage, this is significantly less in male students from Plymouth.

The term 'wrong end of the stick' dates from pre-toliet paper years- I'll let you figure out the physical etymology behind that one.
