Summary

We’re back with another installment of three things! Get excited to talk toilet paper, unhinged online ads, anti-bucket lists, recommendation culture, and MORE!

Olivia’s Things

The Charmin toilet paper redesign (and the mundane parts of life we’d want to give a makeover)

Becca’s Things

This Facebook ad Becca got the other day. (Feat. @myfriendpaige of the My Friend Podcast)
