In a recent and unexpected announcement, former President Donald Trump has declared his preference for the British-made Bronco toilet paper. Manufactured by the British Patent Perforated Paper Company Ltd. between 1935 and 1950, Bronco was known for its distinctive texture—rough on one side and shiny on the other. At one time, it was advertised with the slogan “Bronco, for the bigger wipe.”

Users of Bronco often reported a less-than-comfortable experience, leading to the inclusion of a complimentary bottle of cream with each box to alleviate potential discomfort from hasty use. Trump has humorously recounted instances where he admonished his personal aide responsible for bathroom supplies, warning that any further mishaps might result in a stint in the fictitious “notorious bottom prison.”
While Bronco toilet paper is no longer in production, its legacy endures as a reminder of the evolution of personal hygiene products over the decades.
