The half sheet bounty is called "Select-A-Size", I believe. It's still showing on retailers' websites, so maybe it hasn't been discontinued? However, the last couple of bags I picked up were not half sheet...
With me it has been a hit-or-miss situation. Sometimes what I buy is half sheets, sometimes full sheets. I don't know how to differentiate between those two in half a second it takes to buy them.

Entire business model of the consumables is based upon idea that more it is used better it is for the producer. Half sheet definitely cuts down on the waste but so does the profits. I usually purchase these supplies at Costco or CVS and neither carry them anymore at least in my neighborhood.
I am certain that P&G would prefer that we all buy regular version rather than the half sheet ones. I was half kidding about the inventor getting fired but I am sure he must have heard earful from the upper management if he is still employed there. Is there a BITOG member from a business school who wants to do case study or a term paper on this? It would be great to see this on somebody'r resume

Guess why!

Any documentation or link that they've been discontinued. I still find the Target brand half-sheet. I believe it's 126 sheets per roll.
