Nokia used to sell toilet paper.

Yes, that’s actually true! Nokia did used to sell toilet paper in its early days. Here’s the story:

• 1865: Nokia’s origins began as a pulp mill founded by Fredrik Idestam in Finland. Paper production was a core business for the company.
• Diversification: As Nokia grew, it expanded into various products made from paper, including toilet paper.
• Shifting Focus: In the late 1960s, Nokia made a strategic move towards electronics, which eventually became their primary focus area.

While toilet paper might seem like an odd product for the tech giant we know today, it highlights Nokia’s diversified past before they became a household name in mobile phones.
