This issue has already been settled. A lot of people may not remember this but when the U.S. Post Office was going to issue an Elvis stamp they had a poll on whether the stamp should be a "Fat Elvis" or a "Thin Elvis". The American people overwhelming voted for the thin Elvis.

So when it came for a commemorative stamp honoring toilet paper the Post office had another contest. Underneath the roll won by a landslide.

Note these stamps were quickly bought up by stamp collectors when they were first issued. They are considered very valuable today.
