Sounds like a Ludlum novel. It could be but is not. Not yet. Perhaps I better call his estate and book my rights to the title and the plot.
Once I saw the news about the toilet paper evolution in how people have started printing it with news, coupons, ads, even mysteries and stories in Japan I took it upon myself to expand on the ideas - now I am on a 'roll'.
How about a toilet paper library? Especially in impoverished countries that do not have reliable source of sanitation to extract yourself after attending to the emergency. Use a toilet roll that you carry on your person all the time. But it does not have to be boring. Far from it. You could inscribe reams of stories on a roll.
You may have left a stall with a story half read. You could pop into a local library and finish it by paying cents for the other half of the roll which can be produced on demand. Now Apple is shaking in its boots. They thought they could corner the third world market with its newest long lasting battery featured iphone? Not a chance.
This toilet paper library is 100% biodegradable and requires no batteries. It is a great equalizer and everyone without a Kindle or iPad can now read whenever and literally wherever.
I would suggest two cardboard rolls so that the spool can be wound on the other end as you progress through the plot and unwind the mystery from the original spool.
Anyone want to give me seed money to go at it? One thing about this plan though is that all libraries will need to be reconfigured with more stalls and less open space. We only want a high speed roll maker at the checkout counter.
Now that's an idea you don't want to flush down the toilet?
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
I can imagine where this idea was conceived..
