As with most weird and wonderful Internet trends, this object of fascination originates in Japan.
User wisyf shared a gif of the toilet roll holder to Reddit where is was an instant hit. The toilet roll holder is a magical device with springs that simply allows the owner to pop a new toilet roll in whilst simultaneously popping out the used roll.
One hand, no fuss, no tears. It sure simplifies a task that seems to be an impossible endeavour for many a roommate.
Just watch that spring action.
Reddit users have responded with other devices from all over the world. The only one that even comes close is this beast of a yolk from Germany. Sure it’s as practical but it’s far more unsightly so our points are still going to Japan.
Luckily you don’t have to trek all the way there to experience the satisfaction of the springy roll. We’ve found one on Amazon for a mere $14.99.
