Procter & Gamble (PG)’s Charmin toilet paper ads have been found misleading by an ad watchdog, and P&G has agreed to stop exaggerating how little TP is “left behind” when an animated bear uses it in the woods.

When did bears get to be associated with bathroom hygiene? Over the last few decades. The preponderance of bears on toilet-paper packaging—along with angels, babies, and puppies—derives from the dominance of the major players in the bath-tissue industry.
