A Fancy Toilet Paper Discovery at Creeds


Bob's Pricey Encounter: A Fancy Toilet Paper Discovery at Creeds

Bob loves exploring the city with his camera, finding the unusual, the absurd, and sometimes the downright extravagant. On one of his recent downtown photo walks, he stumbled into Creeds, a stylish café and general store known for its upscale selection of goods. But what caught his eye wasn’t artisanal coffee or boutique pastries—it was a pyramid of high-end, eco-friendly toilet paper.

Labeled “Plant Paper,” these neatly stacked brown boxes proclaimed their superiority: “Tree-free, Toxin-free Toilet Paper.” Bob was intrigued. He had never given much thought to the luxury toilet paper market, but here it was, in a store that sold $7 lattes and designer snacks. Naturally, he did what any street photographer would do—he took a few shots of the setup against the industrial concrete backdrop, amused by how something as mundane as toilet paper could be packaged like a high-end lifestyle product.

Curiosity got the best of him, so he checked the price. Bob nearly choked on his imaginary coffee—this was not your average bulk-pack from a discount store. This was the Rolls-Royce of toilet paper, and it came with a price tag to match.

Was it worth it? Maybe. The box promised environmental responsibility, a smooth experience, and a guilt-free conscience. But Bob couldn’t help but wonder: Was this peak Toronto? Had the city officially reached a point where even toilet paper was an aesthetic statement?

He left Creeds with a few good shots and a chuckle, knowing he had just found another piece of the city's ever-growing collection of quirky, photogenic oddities.
