Then they offer "Large" rolls which are the same size that "Regular" rolls used to be.
A few months later, they reduce the size of "Large", but offer "Jumbo".
Then "Jumbo" becomes "Mega".
Now "Mega" is the same size as "Regular" used to be.
And "Regular" amounts to a single square.

"Sorry, I haven't got a square to spare!"
