"However, there’s plenty to talk about when it comes to the world’s largest roll of toilet paper that’s right at home at Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Branson. If you’ve never seen the massive roll of toilet paper, you’ll definitely want to add it to your bucket list. You might be asking yourself right now, just how big is that roll of toilet paper?" the Only In Your State says.


"The biggest roll of toilet paper stands 10 feet tall, boasts a diameter of 9.73 feet, and covers one million square feet. However, all those numbers really don’t bring home just how huge it really is. You’d need to stack 95,000 rolls of toilet paper to make the equivalent of that humongous roll of toilet paper.


"One person, according to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in Branson, uses around 49 regular rolls of toilet paper each year. If you had that massive roll of toilet paper, you’d be set for life. In fact, you could put it in your will since it would take one person 1,900 years to use it all. That epic roll of toilet paper was made by P&G Paper Products Company right here in Missouri, earning the Charmin roll the title of the world’s largest roll of toilet paper by The Guinness Book of World Records."

"If you’ve visited Ripley’s in Branson recently you have seen a roll of toilet paper taller than you! It’s the world’s largest roll of toilet paper," the official website says.


"How much is that?

1 MILLION SQUARE FEET of Toilet Paper

9.73 FEET in Diameter

95,000 rolls of toilet paper in one!

On average, a person will use 49 rolls of toilet paper every year.

That means that this single roll of TP would last a single person 1900 years and would become a family heirloom!"

"There’s so much to see in Branson, Missouri. It’s the best place to go in the Midwest for wholesome (and often tacky) fun. Home to legendary artists, theaters, the Marvel Cave, Silver Dollar City and Dolly Parton’s Stampede, there is no shortage of over-the-top things to witness in Branson," the Riverfront Times says.


"But did you know that Branson is also home to the largest roll of toilet paper in the world? You can find it at the “Ripley's Believe It or Not!” Odditorium(3326 W. 76 Country Boulevard; Branson).


"The giant roll was manufactured in Missouri, too, at the Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company located outside of Cape Girardeau. It was then transported to Cincinnati, Ohio, where it was wrapped in Charmin-branded plastic."

"The Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) Charmin brand kicked off National Toilet Paper Day, with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS, to announce a new record for the World’s Largest Toilet Roll," the official Press release says.


"Measuring more than eight feet high with a diameter of more than nine feet wide, the World’s Largest Toilet Roll is made entirely of Charmin toilet tissue. The roll was fabricated at the P&G Paper Products Company, located outside of Cape Girardeau, MO, and then transported to the company’s headquarters in Cincinnati, OH for the unveiling. Following the roll’s appearance in Cincinnati, it will be shipped to Ripley’s Believe It or Not, where they will then decide on a showcase location for the roll in one of their museums.


“The roll contains over 1,000,000 square feet of paper and would take approximately 95,000 rolls of Charmin to equal the same amount of paper,” said Darrick Johnson, plant manager at the P&G Paper Products Company, located outside of Cape Girardeau, MO. “We were sad to see it go but excited for its new record-breaking honor.”

"Charmin is an American brand of toilet paper manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The Charmin name was first created on April 19, 1928 by the Hoberg Paper Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In 1950, Hoberg changed its name to Charmin Paper Company and continued to produce bath tissue, paper napkins, and other paper products. Procter & Gamble (P&G) acquired Charmin Paper Company in 1957. Charmin Ultra was originally called White Cloud until 1993.


"In 2010, the company changed the logo to add flecks of toilet paper to the bears in the logo. The "Charmin Bears" is a collective family of parents and children. Initially there was just one family of brown bears, with Leonard the Bear accompanied by Molly, Bill, Amy and Dylan. This was later split into distinct families of bears: five blue ones called the "Charmin Ultra Soft Family" and five red ones called the "Charmin Ultra Strong Family" (Wikipedia)

Reviews from TripAdvisor

"They have so many thing to see there, from super funny to super scary. something for everyone. Be sure to see the shrunken head :)"


"Wasn’t interesting to us. (Ages 25 and 49) if you’re into old artifacts and reading lots of information, then you may like it."


"This is a neat place to visit. Very interesting exhibits and facts and lots of photo opportunities outside."



"The kids enjoyed it and the employees were friendly and helpful. There aren’t as many actual exhibits as there are in San Francisco or Orlando. This site has a lot of pictures. The most unique items are the outside sculptures."


"Wonderful place to take the family! Even our teenager loves it! The outdoor statues were a good enticement, and our visit was fun!"


"The outside of the building and the artwork outside are very interesting - you can take some fun pics. We were expecting the inside to be more funny than strange. It was not very funny except for a few items like the largest TP roll."
