Finland at Forefront of Europe
Article
It seems as though the Suomi are leading Europe in per capita tissue and toiler paper consumption.
Tissue consumption per capita:
- Finland 24 kg/capita
- Switzerland 19 kg/capita
- Sweden 18 kg/capita
- Belgium 17 kg/capita
- Norway 15 kg/capita
On average, toilet paper comprises 60% of all disposable tissues.
I would like to congratulate our northern friends for being so liberal-minded and progressive.

So would it be fair to say that Finns are just more full of **** than other Euros? Or are they just especially bad at wiping their arses?

They use them to wipe the tears after all ice hockey games they lose.

They shouldn't be full of it any more after using that much paper to wipe their asses.

Southern Europeans don't use toilet paper. They use their left hand.

If the Finns use more toilet paper per person then surely that put's them at the arse end of europe not at the forefront.

Not saying it isn't, but AFAIK that happens in more southern countries.
f.e., Try saying hello, giving your left hand to shake his hand to an Indier.
The pic is just a French toilet  , and there are slowly disappering

AFAIK the left hand thingie comes from the Middle East/Near Asia, not Southern Europe. Though I'm not sure if it still happens today, I thought it was mostly a thing of the past. I do know you should still never shake hands with a Muslim with you left hand, regardless of where he's from (apart from Western countries maybe), but I thought that was more based on tradition than on current practices.
