when I was a kid my grandmother had pink toilet paper which I thought was divine. I remember getting in trouble for using it to craft tissue flowers just for fun, they were so softly fluffy. And then they stopped making it and I thought it was because it wasn't good for us or the environment ... but, its back!
I was quite surprised to read that its being sold again but not in pale pink, instead in bright primary colours and black?? good grief.
Here's a link to an article about it :

Het Loo Palace (Dutch: Paleis Het Loo ( "The Lea") is a palace in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, built by the House of Orange-Nassau. It has its origin in the 17th century . The building was renovated between 1976 and 1982 , and again from 2018 . Since 1984, the palace is a museum.
The palace has long been used by the royal family, among other things as a summer residence for Queen Wilhelmina, while it was state property. After their wedding in 1967, Princess Margriet and Professor Pieter van Vollenhoven lived for a time in a wing of the palace.
On the grounds of Het Loo Palace stands Het Loo House, the present home of Princess Margriet and Professor Pieter van Vollenhoven.
The palace today
In 1971 it was decided that Het Loo Palace would be turned into a museum, showing how members of the Royal House lived in the palace over the years. The stables house a large collection of carriages from the holdings of the Royal Stables.
One wing of the palace is devoted to the Museum of the Chancery of the Netherlands Orders of Knighthoods, where a collection of Dutch and international medals and decorations is on display.
The museum regularly hosts new exhibitions. In 1998 Queen Beatrix celebrated her 60th birthday at the palace. Prince Maurits and Princess Marilène had their civil marriage ceremony there. Some of the youngest generation of the royal family were baptised in the palace chapel.
Tours
The museum draws around 400,000 visitors a year. Exhibitions are held there on a regular basis, sometimes featuring pieces from the collection of the Royal Archives. A substantial proportion of the permanent collection is from the House of Orange-Nassau Historic Collections Trust.
The palace and garden are open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10.00 to 17.00.
History
The palace was designed by Jacob Roman.
Stadholder William III bought the medieval castle Het Oude Loo in 1684 and erected a hunting lodge on the property. The lodge was mainly used as a country house for his wife, Mary. After William III became King of England, he had the palace enlarged in 1692-93, replacing colonnades with pavilions. The colonnades were moved to a newly laid out garden. The interior was designed by Daniel Marot.
19th and 20th centuries
In 1807 Louis Bonaparte had the palace remodelled in Empire style, while retaining the work of Marot.
During his reign, King Willem I had the garden redone in the English landscape style. King Willem III had a number of extensions built. Queen Regent Emma modernised the palace in a number of ways, for example, installing electrical power. Queen Wilhelmina took the initiative to remodel part of the palace in the fashion of the 17th century. In 1911 the government paid for a new floor to be added, along with a grand dining room. After this Queen Wilhelmina did not attempt any further restorations. She used Het Loo as her summer palace, and moved into an apartment in the west outer pavilion after her abdication. After her death in 1962 she lay in state in the palace chapel.
Princess Margriet and Professor Pieter van Vollenhoven were the last residents of the palace. They lived in the east wing. In 1975 Queen Juliana decided that the palace should be converted into a museum. In 1984 the palace was opened to the public, after a thorough restoration and reconstruction of the garden, which followed the 17th-century design.

Mellissa's toilet's a bit broken. You have to put the handle back in place after you flush or else the water keeps running. And when that happens, the foam goes OUT OF CONTROL! Haha.
Thanks for all the comments! Allow me to elaborate...
My friend had a party and there were many people in and out of the bathroom. Because of a fault with the handle that no one was told about if you don't replace it after you flush, the water just keeps on the flowing. That, in combination with the toilet soap, and nobody noticing it for twenty minutes led to this hilarious scene!
Also, here in Japan you can buy toilet seat covers to accessorise your toilet! That explains the velvet...
