A gadget you can for free that I saw selling on ebay for as much as $19.

On this week's show see if you can guess what that white plastic gadget is that I hold up. Oh, okay, so it pretty much looks like what it is, a toilet paper holder. But it's not an ordinary toilet paper holder. It's designed to hold those Mega-rolls of toilet paper that are so fat they don't fit into many built in toilet paper holders. They don't fit in the one in my apartment, my Gizneyland studio bathroom, or in the fixture in Dennis' bathroom. So now instead of leaving the roll on the tank and using it until the roll gets small enough to fit into the toilet paper holder, Charmin has come up with a solution. It's the toilet roll extender and it's free from Charmin. Maybe other mega-roll companies offer them too. It's a spring-loaded plastic device that lets the roll sit further out on your built-in toilet paper dispenser so the mega-rolls fit! You get one for free at the link below, or by calling 1-800-777-1410. Amazingly, while looking for a good photo of the roll extender to post here I found them selling online for much as $19. Those come in a nice package for that price, but mine was free and looks exactly the same. It only came in a thinly padded envelope, but hey, for free! Dennis got one too, but his was bent. However we took it apart, put it back together and it works fine.
