Right! Hard toilet paper!
People of a certain age from Britain (and maybe elsewhere) will remember with horror having to use toilet paper that resembled tracing paper. It was hard and crinkly, not at all absorbent, and you could literally use it for tracing.
I'm curious how many people remember the trauma of using this appalling invention.
If you did encounter it, please state the offending country in the comments.

memories of the unheated bogs at school in the mid 1980s which iirc they demolished a year ish before i left, to make way for shiny new classrooms
they also got rid of the wwii anderson bomb shelter which had been in occasional use as an airgun shooting range
the toilet paper seemed as oldfashioned as the bomb shelter
