Charmin drops off load of toilet paper to Michigan’s Butt
Michigan football player Jake Butt received a truckload of Charmin toilet paper in a gesture that surely was a nod to his snicker-inducing last name
Michigan tight end Jake Butt doesn’t mind people having fun with his last name. The folks at Procter & Gamble sure are.
The parent company of Charmin toilet paper delivered a truckload of the squeezably soft product to him in his hometown of Pickerington, Ohio, on Wednesday.
The nature of the relationship between P&G and Butt is unclear. A request for comment was emailed to P&G.
The gesture surely was a nod to Butt’s last name, which elicits snickers wherever he goes. He embraces it.
“I love it so much,” he told ESPN last August. “I think that’s one of my greatest traits. It has really allowed me to grow my platform and build my brand.”
Butt has made a name for himself as a football player for being a two-time Big Ten tight end of the year. He’s one of the top players at his position available for the NFL draft, which starts Thursday.
On Tuesday, Charmin tweeted , “Have you seen the #CharminDumpTruck driving through? We’ve got a special destination for a butt-load of TP”
On Wednesday, a Columbus radio station, 97.1 The Fan, tweeted a picture of the load of toilet paper being dropped on a lawn with Butt standing nearby.
