Ending the Toilet Paper Over/Under Debate
It's hard to argue that this 124-year-old patent that really does settle this debate.
Hotels seem to agree. When is the last time you entered a hotel room and the paper was in the under fashion? Never, right? They're always in the over - sometimes with a fancy triangle formed so you can see it better.

And believe it or not, Wikipedia even has a page dedicated to this mystery!
