Can you believe it? All this American ingenuity pouring out of our ears and we can't make toilet paper.
Also, my dried apricots come from Turkey*. Both are about a zillion time zones away, but oil is sooooo cheap that we don't think anything about it.
Oil is so cheap, what'll I bet you G.L. Kendall will innovate and be the first to film his sci fi adventure thingy IN OUTER SPACE.

*Figs, I could understand. But apricots? I've seen apricot trees in people's backyards here. Heck, this town used to be all orchards!

Welcome to Ye Olde Global Village. You don't make loo paper because you can't make it cheap enough. Didn't a lot of greedy owners (& shareholders) close down a lot of American factories & move them to Mexico (& I believe a lot of those have since closed down & moved to India). Making stuff is so last year.
These days it's more like "Making stuff is so 'Third World'".

My cherry preserves (with no refined sugar) came from Italy. We here in the USA either don't grow sour cherries, or we do but don't know what they're for, or if we do, we don't know how to turn them into preserves without refined sugar. Or.....
Petroleum is so damned cheap that stores think nothing of sending for such things from a squillion miles away.

Someone at work got some flowers recently. The box was super-super-strong cardboard, the interior had thick plastic security straps, and the whole shebang came from Colombia. COLOMBIA.
"Holy Kendall, I farted in my girlfriend's mixing bowl and now she's mad at me. What do I do?
I know. I'll send her posies from 12 kabillion miles away!"

I've heard of cases where people who have free shipping from Amazon Prime are sitting on their toilet, notice that the roll of toilet paper is getting low, and jump on their phones to order a single roll of toilet paper. No more than two days later, it's on their doorstep.
Good grief.
