Why is toilet tissue perforated in 4 inch increments?

Asked by majorrich (14741points) March 20th, 2011

Whilest in one of my random pondering moments, I thought I have never used a single ‘panel’ or ‘sheet’ of toilet tissue. Why do they perforate it in an increment that nobody uses? Why not 12–16 inches, that sounds more practical.
