Blimey, they still make IZAL toilet tissue!

[iandbeech]

Noticed it today while shopping - I remember it as a lad, a sort of early "teflon" coated, non absorbant tracing paper if I recall! :hehe: Does anyone actually still buy this stuff?

Some comments on here regarding it`s qualities :)

I expect this thread will go "down the pan" in due course!;)

Its like the greaseprrof paper we had in school.. never really wiped anything, more like smeared it around!

[ZR1cliff]

Teachers used to wonder why my drawings were so good,,i used to use Izal as tracing paper

[BliarOut]

Horrible stuff, kids today don't know they have been born.....

Why oh why would anyone in their right mind think that a non absorbent paper could ever do the job.... And who actually buys this stuff

[alfaman]

We used to get this stuff at boarding school - twas meant to be "hygienic" !!?? -FFS :

..... about as hygienic and effective as wiping your bum with cling film !

- Personally - I think it was used to match the general "hair shirt" regime of crap food , cold dorms ,no girls and fagging.

[andy mac]

No fagging at a boarding school? I doubt that!!

[andy mac]

no idea what fagging is, but I was attempting to slur boarding school boys!!

You're right pointless but very sharp.

Question actually!
Who invented it, why, how did it pass public safety testing and have they ever used it?

I wonder how many kids end up with bowel problems as a result of holding it in until they get home?
