Golden Wipe
My German grandfather often used to say, "Ich bin kein Dukatenscheisser." (I don't s**t money.) But if he had this roll of toilet paper, he could have wiped with money. Or rather, gold.
It's 6-layer toilet paper embossed with 24-karat gold plate. It comes in 2 versions: either with the words 'Happy Birthday' or an Alpine rose embossed on it. Yours for only 178.50 Euros ($245, according to my desktop currency converter).

I guess this contradicts the phrase "A Rose by any Other Name Would Smell the Same"

It may be "As Sweet" .. I hated Shakespeare in school.

6-Ply tissue?
You'll need all the gold you can get to pay the plumber to unclog your toilet daily!

Do they give discounts on case lot purchases?

For BD's TP-
- 1 roll TP = 1,000 sheets. 3 ply = 333 sheets
- 23 carat gold leaf, 3 1/8"x3 1/8", 25 sheets = $60
- 333/25=14
- 14x $60= $840
...Say $1,000 or $6,000 if you cover both sides of the 3 ply.
...$1,300,000 is at least a 200 times mark up. With emphasis on MARK.
So it is a good DIY project.
