A few years ago, an old patent appeared on the Internet, putting an end to the eternal dispute about how to properly hang toilet paper on a holder.
This was reported by the Zen channel "Visual".
How to hang toilet paper correctly - towards you or away from you
According to etiquette, toilet paper should be hung on the holder with the end facing you.
This is the way toilet paper is hung in many hotels and motels.
The correctness of this method is confirmed by a patent from 1891, demonstrating the position of the inventor Seth Wheeler.
It was he who came up with the idea of producing toilet paper in rolls. He also came up with perforation.
The patent shows a roll of toilet paper hanging from a holder with the end facing out.
