You couldn't, at the time, print "Property of HM Government" on every sheet of Andrex or Kleenex...as if somebody would actually consider stealing it for personal, home use


Just think of the money saved by printing a theft deterrent on a product nobody wanted to steal.
In a great example of the ultimate bathroom kitsch, I remember my family visiting a (very) elderly relative long, long ago, and as well as providing Izal in the lavatory, there was a spare roll with one of those knitted lady in a big dress covers over it! I think I remember it so clearly as I had never seen one before, and I have never seen one in the wild since.
This was way before anyone would have even thought of doing such a thing ironically!

Anyone remember the small blue salt packet in Smiths crips not ready sorted? The it was brought back I think in the 90s for a while.
Salt and Shake are still very much a thing, you can get multipacks in pretty much all supermarkets.

That should have has some sort of award as the worst product design ever. You might as well have picked up a turd and smeared it directly all over your arse.
