With this 'Over Under' infographic, people can finally make up their minds on an issue that frequently sparks debate among my family members: how should you hang toilet paper?

The snazzy 'Over Under' infographic is a humorous look at [toilet paper hanging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughts-prayers-toilet-paper) and it even takes into account the [history of toilet paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cascades-inc). Who knew that the modern convenience store was invented in 1857? The 'Over Under' infographic is also quite insightful as it outlines the [engineering advantages and disadvantages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-toilets) of each paper-hanging style.
