Costco lovers usually LOVE everything Kirkland, but the brand’s toilet paper is catching serious flack online. People on Reddit are straight-up done with the Kirkland Signature Bath Tissue. One user didn’t hold back: “The TP absolutely sucks now, I’m ready to throw away what’s left.” Another said it used to be amazing but has slowly gone downhill.

But the best/worst remark was the snow globe comment — yep, someone said it leaves behind so much fluff it’s like they “sat on a snow globe.” That's really descriptive. At $24.99 for 30 rolls, it’s a decent deal, but shoppers are saying cheap isn’t worth it if the quality tanks.

@m15t3rq What’s up with the Kirkland Signature toilet paper? Same price, shittier product. #costco #tolietpaper #charmintoiletpaper @Costco Wholesale ♬ original sound - Family Dude

The upside? Costco’s return policy is top notch so if your TP experience feels more like sandpaper, just return it. Let’s hope Costco notices and steps up — nobody wants snow globe experiences in the bathroom. To be fair, 90% of human beings don't want bathroom visits to be experiential. For me, a good bathroom visit is extremely forgettable.

If I'm making memories in the restroom, someone has failed.

  • Milford - Boston Post Road
  • Waterbury - East Main Street
  • Norwalk - Connecticut Avenue

New Indian Restaurant in Brookfield is Knocking Socks off Feet

Situated at 15B Federal Road, Bar Naan is currently the talk of Greater Danbury. It all started when my wife, Erica, went there last week and couldn't stop raving about it. Uncharacteristically, she asked if I'd join her for a return visit, and I was down.

A Curious Excursion in an Underground Brookfield Tunnel

Recently, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine, I told this person I'd accessed some caves and tunnels in my hometown of Brewster, NY which is just over the NY/CT State Line. He knows how much I love local history, and saw how excited I was about this journey. He told me there was an area of Brookfield, CT that I needed to see, one that most residents have never seen. He told me about a tunnel, one that was not far away from where we were sitting. I made note of the conversation and bookmarked the destination for a future trip.

From Buttons to Bunkers: The Cold War Charm of The I95 Tower in Brookfield

My name is Lou Milano, the co-host of the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou & Large Dave. I started working here in September of 1999 which means I just celebrated my 23rd year with the company and I let it pass by without even realizing it.

In my time with the station I've only been to the broadcast tower site a handful of times. My last trip up there made me think that everyone should get to see this. This is my virtual tour of the tower site from the ground. As you read this I want you to keep in mind that it takes all of these components to create 50,000 watts, one of the strongest signals in Connecticut.

Lost Blue Shirt Discovered on Shore of Candlewood Lake Island in Brookfield

On the priority-list of lost items, this is somewhere at the bottom but I figured it was worth a shot. If you're missing a blue shirt with white stripes on the sleeves, it's on this island on Candlewood Lake, somewhere in Brookfield.
