Charmin helps people get "personal"

2 years ago, while filming some Christmas video footage for True North, a bunch of us stumbled upon something amazing in Times Square in NYC. It was Charmin’s free restrooms. Now, not only is a clean (and free) bathroom in NYC a big deal, but this place was a Charmin wonderland. They had all sorts of cool stuf going on – you could send postcards to friends, take photos in their photo booth and of course, relieve yourself. Charmin created a fun environment that drew people in, even if they didn’t have to go. Great marketing for sure.

They closed up shop after a while, and apparently, they have returned. Today, I was in the city, but unfortunately didn’t manage to get back there, but I did see this:

So Charmin has done it again. Pretty funny stuff. If you find yourself in NYC and near Times Sq. pay them a visit. Trust me, it will be worth it.

For now, enjoy some of these links:

Until next time, as Charmin says “Enjoy the Go.”
