I have never trusted bears who use toilet paper. Bears are no different than all wild animals: they prefer doing their business out of sight. In private. As in a “deep inside the proverbial woods” kind of way.
The makers of Charmin toilet paper think using bears to sell toilet paper is both clever and cute. Unfortunately, it seems TV viewing audiences agree. Success has finally relocated The Bear Family from the wilderness, where they belong, to upscale suburbia where bear cubs have their own private bathrooms.
Too much information. I happen to know all self-respecting bears would NEVER think about crapping on TV. For that matter, neither would Mr. Whipple.
Can’t stand the Cottonelle commercial where that idiot woman that gets in the shower and starts wiping her arms with a dry washcloth. Always enjoy it when the other woman turns the shower on.

I stopped buying Charmin many years ago, because of it’s cost and the fact that some septic systems just can’t handle it. Another series of commercials that really gross me out are about Cottonelle wipes. Supposedly rational grown people discuss nicknames for toilet paper/wipes in a KITCHEN, of all places! That puts the U in YUCK for me!

Charmin has become the last paper I purchase. And all because of those bears. I guess I just don’t appreciate them.

If only that would be the only place they poop, deep in the woods or in a bathroom. The bears this year, have moved to where there is plenty of housing including downtown!

I must agree. I’ve known since I was a child what bears did in the woods and we were so poor we would never have shared our toilet tissue with them. They didn’t need it anyway. I enjoy your posts so much. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

These bear family commercials drive me absolutely crazy. Charmin will NEVER get me to buy their product. Ever. If they were the only makers of TP. I’d use the woods. lol

You’d have plenty of privacy in the woods. All the bears are in town in the suburbs.
