Toilet paper maker Charmin has leaped onto the trend, offering up a series of uninspired JPGs and GIFs, most of them prominently featuring a picture of a roll of toilet paper, as pieces of "digital art." "Sometimes a better bathroom experience goes beyond the seat," Charmin wrote in [a tweet]() announcing their NFTs, "that’s why were rolling out the first-ever NFT art by a toilet paper brand!" Charmin's artworks are [now being sold]() on the NFT exchange Rarible. Fortunately, the brand has decided to donate all proceeds to the charity DirectRelief, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting poverty. ## Digital Pizza Charmin isn't the only brand to embrace NFTs. Pizza Hut [recently announced]() that it's releasing "1 Byte Favourites," or digital images of pizza, as NFTs. "Pizza Hut believes no world should exist without pizza, especially their pan pizza," the pizzeria chain wrote in [a statement](). "That’s why they wanted to make sure it was enshrined in the digital universe." Taco Bell also got in on the trend early, releasing five pieces of "limited" digital art earlier this month. "Our Spicy Potato Soft Tacos can now live in your hearts, stomachs and digital wallets," the chain promised in [a tweet](). **READ MORE:** [Charmin unfurls NFT toilet paper art]() \[*CNET*\] **More on NFTs:** *[Architect Sells Rendered 3D House as $500000 NFT]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
