Toilet
paper is not the greatest thing since sliced bread -- it can't be,
because toilet paper predates it by over fifty years. Commercial toilet
paper was invented in 1857 by a New Yorker named Joseph Gayetty, who
sold packs of 500 sheets (each containing a watermark with his name) for
fifty cents. The product was called "the greatest necessity of the age"
per its marketing language, so perhaps, sliced bread is the greatest
thing since toilet paper
