As we know, Germans refer to a television show or movie with an upbeat ending as "Happy End," as in Ein familienfreundlicher Film mit Happy End!
That's the good feelin' the makers of this consumer product are trying to evoke:
Yes, it's toilet paper. As Homer Simpson might say, it works on so many levels!

Zbigniew Herbert: Barbarian In The Garden
The Polish poet travels through Western Europe in the early 1960s. He's got no money, no guarantee he'll be let back into his country, and a prodigious knowledge of European history. "If the gods protect one from organized tours (through insufficient funds or strong character), one should spend the first few hours in a new city following a simple rule: straight ahead, third left, straight ahead, third right. One can follow the curve of a sickle.... I have been walking for over an hour without coming across an historical monument."
Happy end, I suppose, depending on which end of the toilet paper you have in your hand.

Maybe you should send a role to Zizek, I would be curious what he makes of it...
