We talked about the Cottonelle’s “Roll Poll” today and it seems our Memphis poll mirrors that of the national preference when it comes to how the toilet paper roll rolls. :) Over. That’s how the majority of Americans roll. Nationwide ,72-percent like their toilet paper to go over the roll, while just 28-percent prefer the under roll. In our unscientific 94.1 KQK poll, 80% of our listeners prefer over, 20% under.
What we also found is that people are passionate about the over….in fact it seems Cottonelle found the same thing. Metro news reports that they found “overs” also tend to be more picky about how the roll rolls. Nearly 75-percent of “overs” say they notice when the toilet paper is hung “wrong.” Psychotherapist and relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle says people’s rolling preferences says something about their personality. She notes, quote, “People who roll over like taking charge, crave organization and are likely to overachieve. It seems to me that Americans are passionate about rolling over due to the sense of control that it gives them.”
