Does anyone remember coloured toilet paper? Any other random disappearances?

Just this really.

I have recollections of toilet paper being available in lilac, mint, peach, baby blue. My husband thinks in lying.

its now white. I’m not sure when the colours disappeared.

I'd love some lilac loo roll to brighten up the day. I realise that this is a non-problem but I’m bored and have had a glass of wine (or two).

Has anyone got any other random disappearances that cannot be explained?

I actually found it randomly on Amazon a while ago.

I bought a tube out of curiosity and nostalgia from the 1980s, and it genuinely is like scrubbing your face with ground up walnut shells... But I do actually quite like it still 😂

Used to buy coloured bog roll from asda in 2002, I used to alternate the colour each shop - blue, pink, lilac. I remember green too. At this point most modern bathroom suites were white.

My grandfather used to buy navy blue with gold stars on it to match their very fancy navy blue bathroom with a sunken bath 😆 haven’t seen that for 30 odd years. My mother always used to buy peach, and I remember a sage green when I was a kid.
Didn’t realise how much I missed coloured loo roll.
