When I saw this picture at Weird Vintage it occurred to me that my children have never seen colored toilet paper. When I was a kid, I noticed the different pastel colors in my friend’s homes that matched the different bathroom colors. My parents always bought plain white, as it was less expensive. But now toilet paper everywhere is white. What happened? The answer is at the ToiletPaperWorld Blog.
In other news, there is a ToiletPaperWorld Blog. Oh yes, you can still get colored TP if you really want it, but you have to have it shipped in.

My best friend in high school got married in 1976, and I threw her a bridal shower. They had rented a newly-built apartment that was done totally in avocado -kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, and even the carpets. She bragged about it, and every gift she received was avocado color. Of course, she ended up moving several times in the next few years, so I felt sorry for her having all those horribly-colored household items.

It's Pinkalicious!, a book that I'm familiar with given my three little kids!

Avocado bathrooms? I'd never have guessed ... though I distinctly remember my in-laws' old avocado-colored fridge. Apparently, it was the rage back then.
