All this effort to communicate the idea of bigger or smaller rolls instead of just giving us the total surface area. But then, this isn't about informing the consumer it's about making it seem bigger. If they just gave us a total measurement in sq ft that would make it too easy to compare prices.

It's like guys measuring their dick, they aren't terribly concerned with the validity of the measurement as long as the result sounds good.

They do, and it does.
