I do not understand what bears have to do with toilet paper, but apparently Charmin LOVES the concept!

They’ve been using bears to sell toilet paper since 2000. Can anyone explain the connection?

Bears are SCARY. Bears are ferocious creatures, are 8 feet tall, have giant claws and can outrun/outclimb you, so forget about going up into a tree, Tarzan. Your only chance is to have a gun, and I doubt you could bring yourself to shoot Winnie the Pooh, so let’s get real, you actually have no chance whatsoever.

But…wait a minute…bears have soft, thick fur — so they’re telling me it’s like wiping my behind with a 500 thread-count duvet. Teddy bears are cute. There’s also the care bears. And gummy bears! Maybe bears have gotten a bad rap!

The mother bear in the ad also dances around, and has a child with it. You know times are hard when you have to swipe pick-a-nick baskets for food, so it decides to get the best available toilet paper for its money, which happens to be Charmin.

Now I get it!
