please don't sqeeze the CHARMIN,why ?

Question

Why didn"t Mr. Whipple allow this?

Answer 1

Surprisingly, there is a Wikipedia entry on Mr. Whipple. Here it is:

"Mr. George Whipple is a fictional supermarket manager featured in television advertisements that ran in the United States from 1965 to 1989 for Charmin toilet paper. In unvarying repetition, he scolds women who "squeeze the Charmin," while hypocritically entertaining such actions himself.

The very first commercial sets the tone. He is seen looking off camera at a female customer, commenting that first she's squeezing the grapefruits, then she's squeezing the melons, and then (in a classic comic "triple") when she gets to the Charmin, that's the last straw, and he walks over to her and utters his famous plea for the first time.

In the late seventies and early eighties, a competitor named Hoffmeyer came along, who encouraged his customers to squeeze the Charmin, and scolded Whipple on his hypocrisy.

According to Charmin makers Procter & Gamble, a 1978 survey found that "Mr. Whipple" was the third best-known American, behind only recently-ousted President Richard Nixon and preacher Billy Graham.

By the late 1980s, Mr. Whipple was encouraging customers who weren't buying Charmin to squeeze it. One commercial had him use a fishing rod to put it in a skeptic's cart.

He was played by actor Dick Wilson, a character actor who had played a recurring role on the television series Bewitched. A new series of Charmin commercials featuring him was filmed in 1999, with the new slogan, "Is Mr. Whipple watching?".

In 1985, the title track of "Weird Al" Yankovic's Dare to Be Stupid contained the lyric, "you better squeeze all the Charmin you can when Mr. Whipple's not around." Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio's "Deck the Halls"/Michael Jackson parody "Grahbe Yabalz" contains the line "Squeeze your buns like Mr. Whipple."

Not to be confused with the Nobel Prize-winning physician, George Hoyt Whipple."

Answer 2

each roll had air pumped into it and, if you squeezed it, the rolls would deflate and Mr. Whipple would be big time embarassed!

Answer 3

He didn't want toilet paper fetishists blocking the aisle. At least that was his excuse. However, I caught him in the stockroom squeezing a whole case of the stuff. I think he gets jealous.

Answer 4

Because people don't like to buy them when the paper rolls are crushed flat. That irks me. It doesn't roll right. Only one of my quirks.lol
