Why is it easier to tear a paper towel off of a full roll than off of a mostly used roll?
A full roll is very sturdy, while a mostly used roll is more fragile. Therefore, when you go to pull the paper off the full roll, it comes off easily without you having to steady the roll...but if you want to tear paper off a mostly used roll, you'll have to hold the roll down before you tear it off so the roll doesn't fall. Basically, because a full roll is sturdier than a mostly used roll.
