Debate OVER! 124-Year-Old Patent Reveals The Right Way To Use Toilet Paper

·

Over or under? The long debated toilet paper battle is officially over, or it was 124 years ago!

Seth Wheeler filed his patent application on June 8, 1891- Serial No. 395.473. (No model.) that should end the debate of how toilet paper should be placed. Wheeler writes in his patent, “In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of my roll of paper having arched and serrated incisions with a sheet hanging therefrom. Fig. 2 represents a detached sheet of paper.”
