From the post:

>It's a cause of arguments in households around the world. And over 150 years since the toilet roll was invented, the question of how exactly it should be oriented still triggers furious debate. In the 'over' position, the next square of toilet paper is facing the user, while in the 'under' position, the next square of toilet paper is facing the wall. Now, a scientist has settled the debate once and for all. Dr Primrose Freestone, professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Leicester, says the 'under' orientation is actually safer and more effective, despite the image in the original toilet paper patent.

Kresge's and Woolworth still live

The last Kresge store closed in 1994 in Canada. The Woolworth's chain in Oz and New Zealand aren't related to the old name in the USA - they basically just decided to use the name because it was available and recognizable.

The only thing left of the old USA Woolworth's is Foot Locker, which although started as Kinney Shoes, was purchased by and became the legal successor to Woolworth's.
