										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The value of a mansion of this expensive toilet paper lies not in its intended use, but in the material it is made of.</strong><br />
<span id="more-17603"></span> With increasing living standards, people&#8217;s demand for toilet paper is increasing, toilet paper is increasingly soft, fragrant and divided into many different levels. But do you know the value of this most expensive toilet paper in the world? The value of expensive toilet paper is about $1.4 million (approximately VND 30 billion), making it hard for ordinary people to imagine.</p>
<p> Not in the purpose of use but in the material that makes it. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_176_38932056/b6f76ee975ab9cf5c5ba.jpg" width="625" height="523"> The entire body of this toilet paper is made of gold, the shape is not much different from ordinary toilet paper, rolled into a tube, but making such a precious metal as gold is inherently laborious. strength. This toilet paper roll is divided into three layers in total, lined up side by side, all made of very tight and molten gold. In the eyes of the average person, gold is a very expensive metal, often used to create fine jewelry, but creating and using toilet paper costs the same as a mansion or a sports car. Luxury sports are truly &#8216;cool&#8217;, and of course this is a unique, most expensive toilet paper roll in the world that is unmatched. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_176_38932056/de180f061444fd1aa455.jpg" width="625" height="493"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_176_38932056/14a8c1b6daf433aa6ae5.jpg" width="625" height="714"> The use of gold as a raw material is inherently incredible, but it pales in comparison to the wealthiest Middle Eastern Arab monarchs in the world. Because they often use gold to create various items from gold cars, gold toilets and now gold toilet paper for daily use, making the whole world go crazy with &#8220;jealousy&#8221;. However, with the price of a toilet paper roll of nearly 30 billion VND, it is definitely not suitable for daily use, but it can be used, it is also very difficult, so it will only become a collector&#8217;s item. Middle Eastern &#8216;kings&#8217;.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Before the invention of &#8216;toilet paper&#8217; people used quite horrible materials instead. The cob, yes, the piece of pottery, the sand&#8230;just listening to it makes modern people shudder.</strong><br />
<span id="more-17587"></span> Today, toilet paper is a common item around the world. It is so important that in times of emergency, people have to jostle to buy more stock than food. However, the history of this item only began in the 14th century. So before that, how did humans solve the problem of personal hygiene when there was no paper?</p>
<p> <strong> 1. Corn cob</strong> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/a1d09ae181a368fd31b2.jpg" width="625" height="574"> <em> In the 1700s, Native Americans often used dried corncobs as &#8216;toilet paper&#8217;. This material is quite abundant, rich and soft, easy to absorb. Although the user may be a little sore, it is still considered safer and more comfortable than many other materials. </em> <strong> 2. Snow </strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/b9f083c1988371dd2892.jpg" width="625" height="602"> For people living in cold areas, snow was a good candidate in a time when toilet paper wasn&#8217;t available. The only downside is probably the feeling of cold to the bone, but if you get used to it, no one will feel embarrassed because it is very clean. <strong> 3. Rocks</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/6fde50ef4bada2f3fbbc.jpg" width="625" height="627"> It sounds unbelievable, but there were times when people used stones for cleaning. The advantage of this type of &#8220;toilet paper&#8221; is that it is easy to find, abundant. Just like the cob, although this is not the most comfortable material, it is at least very convenient when there is no other better material to replace it. <strong> 4. Wooden stick</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/f2f1cfc0d4823ddc6493.jpg" width="625" height="599"> About 2000 years ago, people in ancient China used toilet sticks. This &#8220;toilet paper&#8221; is cut from bamboo and other woods, shaped like spoons. People call this tool salaka, cachou or chugi. The ends of the tools are covered with cloth to create a more comfortable feeling for the user. Even so, it still makes people shudder just thinking about it. <strong> 5. Broken ceramic shards</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/c1bcf38de8cf019158de.jpg" width="625" height="624"> Compared to the Chinese, the Greeks have even more creepy &#8220;toilet paper&#8221;. In ancient toilets, the Greeks used &#8220;pessoi&#8221; (small pieces of pottery) to clean after defecation. These ceramic pieces, usually 3-11 cm in diameter, are cut and angled from broken pottery. This material is so popular that the Greeks have an adage: &#8220;Three pieces are enough to wipe&#8221;. <strong> 6. Tersorium</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/006330522b10c24e9b01.jpg" width="625" height="578"> If the above materials are too hard and easily cause pain to the user, the Roman tersorium seems more comfortable. Tersorium is a cleaning device created by attaching sponges to a stick. Although there is no specific document on how to use it, many people think it is likely that tersorium is a toilet brush and not &#8220;toilet paper&#8221;. <strong> 7. Mussel shell</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/3c0e0a3f117df823a16c.jpg" width="625" height="579"> People in the island and coastal areas often make use of natural resources as an alternative to &#8220;toilet paper&#8221;, despite the fact that they have many sharp edges. If there is no mussel shell, people will replace it with coconut shell. <strong> 8. Grass</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/fe66cb57d015394b6004.jpg" width="625" height="619"> Grass and leaves are the softest method ever used by man in history. The advantage of this natural material is that it is easy to find, environmentally friendly and convenient. <strong> 9. Sand</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_22_304_38930154/4e6545545e16b748ee07.jpg" width="625" height="584"> Different climatic conditions lead to different cleaning methods. In arid places, people are forced to use sand to replace toilet paper. This way is not very comfortable but is almost the only option for many people.</p>

<p> <em> The Republic of Nauru is an island nation in Micronesia in the South Pacific Ocean. With approximately 12,000 inhabitants living on an area of ​​21 square kilometers, Nauru is the smallest country in the South Pacific Ocean, and the third smallest in the world by area.</em> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_14_180_38838812/3fc369cc768e9fd0c69f.jpg" width="625" height="477"> <em> However, the island nation was once rich enough to rival Saudi Arabia thanks to its abundant phosphate deposits made up of bird droppings. Bird droppings accumulated centuries ago on this island. Phosphate is an important ingredient in fertilizer production.</em> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_14_180_38838812/551801171e55f70bae44.jpg" width="625" height="414"> <em> The huge reserves of phosphate on the island of Nauru are the result of bird droppings (guano) over several thousand years.
