Cloud -- very scifi. Interesting. Though smaller than the initial picture suggests, which made me think of an outright space platform type thingy.

n+1 is interesting. But what do they do with the rolls that come back? Or does every table have someone like me who will eventually take the final roll if only to mop up dinner with

And the Lynx effect -- hahaha. Chickens coming home and all that. They should jolly well take a leaf out of the Muppets' book and just say 'Lynx makes you smell clean', though even that wouldn't be true: Lynx in my opinion makes you smell like a tart's handbag or a moose's scrotum, depending on which flavour you get.

n+1 - they throw away the extra roll. That's the point - they expend one extra roll in order to save n rolls, a net saving in the long run.

I'm with you on Lynx, I hate air fresheners and most anti-persperants as smelling _foul_.

I can't help baulking at the waste involved, though I suppose if they did the n thing they'd end up consuming twice as many breadrolls!

I can't even find a deodorant without antiperspirant. Which is silly. I want to sweat, it's how I cool down. When I wear antiperspirant I just end up sweating in silly places like down my back.
