Northern Quilted, now celebrating its 100th anniversary, underwrote the "Privies of the Past" exhibit in the Neville Museum in Green Bay, WI, with an $87,000 gift. According to a press release, the company plans to further commemorate the event by unveiling the world's largest roll of toilet paper. It stands 5 feet high, 7 feet wide and weighs 2,000 pounds. That's the equivalent of 10,561 rolls or 2,207,000 square sheets of TP -- enough to wipe the bottoms of a family of five for 17 years.

March 2008: This exhibit is long gone.
