🧻 Toilet paper — comparison by weight

Method: by weight. We weighed each roll on a kitchen scale, then subtracted the empty cardboard tube. The result is grams of actual paper — the only number that matters. Renova looks like the premium choice, but per gram of paper it costs nearly 3× Carrefour.

💪 Protein powder — cost per gram of protein
