Slash, if you look at the various complexities in the market for toilet paper (as I did in the "TP" section of my followup paper on paperclip usage during the early pre-Ming Dynasty years) you will find that it is entirely likely that toilet paper will experience a sharp decline in price over the next two decades. The combined forces of the "Green Movement" and industrial consolidation (I have it on good authority that Charmin will have a monopoly by early 2017) will exaggerate the various market factors contributing to the economy of scale found in Toilet Paper production. This newfound efficiency will allow for dirt cheap TP, even after accounting the monopolist's deadweight loss. 43 cent TP is entirely plausible.
RN, we're not talking about any common TP, we're talking about Jumbo Ranger TP. Now, let's review the facts shall we: Jumbo Ranger is a product known for what? Action. Now, most action heroes are what? Rich. You can't market a brand against a price that directly contradicts the vision that has been set.
Now to your point of "The combined forces of the "Green Movement" and industrial consolidation." This is a flawed statement. Jumbo Ranger is red. And as most know (but obviously not you), the Green Movement has been a recurring villain organization that has threatened Jumbo Ranger and his rich ass loads of times... So do you really think that JR will just let the GM continue their evil plans of market control??
Jumbo Ranger is a symbol, a symbol the world really needs right now. Why would you even think that he would lower his price to 43 cents and cheapen his status like this?
