How Was "Charmin" Named?

From Wikipedia:

Charmin is a brand-name of extra-soft toilet paper owned by Procter & Gamble.

The Charmin name was first created in 1928 by the Hoberg Paper Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. The toilet paper was described as charming, thus, the name still used today.

Older advertisements featured the fictional grocer Mr. Whipple who told customers, "Please don't squeeze the Charmin!".
