Description:
I wanted to create something that I can sell to every house hold in America... and maybe the world. With that in mind you have to realize that there is only one thing that every habited house has in it.... Not cups and plates, not chairs and beds, not even lighting..... but they must have toilet paper!! Now I asked everyone I came across the simple question. "Do you blow your nose with toilet paper or Kleenex"? and to my surprise almost 80% of everyone said toilet paper... and 100% said they used toilet paper when they ran out Kleenex. Up until the time I got married, I never bought Kleenex. Due mainly to the fact that it cost $2.00 per box versus .25cents a roll (One $1.60 box of Kleenex = 8 rolls of toilet paper). That 800% difference in cost. Second it wasn't habit to buy Kleenex where as I always bought toilet paper. Even now that my wife buys Kleenex I still go for the toilet paper knowing that there are fewer Kleenex sheets in the box than the roll of toilet paper. Knowing that we all are using toilet paper for the obvious and other things like blowing our nose, wiping makeup tools, etc... I created and patented the first counter top toilet paper dispenser....

Even though we use toilet paper we don't want it to look like it. So I took the same principles as the traditional Kleenex box covers and made one for a toilet paper roll. This way you can place one in the bathroom, on the coffee table, the desk, bedrooms, your vehicle, etc... and it looks like an ordinary tissue box. I even added a picture window for your favorite photo... Now consumers can simply buy their one pack of toilet paper.... put one on the roll and one in the box and have the best of both worlds at a fraction of the cost!! And without having to shop for 2 different items!!..!!
In time of recession Kleenex becomes a LUXURY..!! and now with TP-TOO no one will know the difference!! Except their wallet!! and that's a great thing when it comes to something you just can't do without! Retail is $7.95ea... or $21.95 for a 3pack... in 6 basic colors to match anyone's decor.
