There's not much out there about Kirkland/Koch connection - I asked Costco several times via email about Koch Industries and
never got an answer. There's only a couple paper conglomerates chugging out huge quantities that Costco demands.

I buy the generic brand at Whole Foods - it's made from recycled paper and the cost diff isn't that much.
