Netflix Ups Ply Count in Restrooms

Netflix said it is increasing the thickness of toilet paper stocked in employee restrooms at its Los Gatos, Calif.-based corporate headquarters, beginning April 1.

The changed occurred after it was discovered Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings had two-ply TP in his corporate restroom.

The streaming pioneer had been providing employees with one-ply TP since launching operations in 1999 – a mandate imposed at the time by Hastings.

The CEO apparently considered one-ply adequate and a luxury compared to his prior stint with the Peace Corps in third-world countries.

CFO David Wells said one-ply contributed 0.0001% to the company’s operating income.

April Fool's.
