Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes: The Day My Dad Converted the Grocery Store

Sometime around 2007 or 2008, I started using Cottonelle Flushable Wipes. They changed my life. Seriously, was I ever really clean before them? I guess I’ll never know, and I’m okay with that. I’d rather not remember the stinky-bottom days anyway, but I digress. How did society ever get along before these things were invented?

I was so impressed that I went to my father and asked if he’d give them a try. It was a very awkward conversation at first. I gave him one of my packs after he agreed to try them, and that was the end of it.

Or so I thought. Three months later, my dad called me up and said we had to talk! I came over for dinner that night, and he told me his bathroom experience had been revolutionized. Awesome, my first convert! But I didn’t expect him to take it to another level.

A few days later, we were at the grocery store together, walking down the toilet paper aisle, when Dad spotted his first victim. A nice middle-aged lady was quietly checking out the new Cottonelle display. My father marched right up to her and proclaimed the wipes’ greatness, not just to her, but to the whole store.

I tried to hide, but there was nowhere to go. After he made me blush so hard I practically turned the color of a tomato, he told everyone in the store that I was the one who told him about Cottonelle. Great. My life was officially ruined!
