Tuza

A Tuza is the core left over after you stuff yourself with a couple of ears of corn. To truly be a Tuza, it has to sit and age for a few months until it gets hard. (In rural areas, dried corn cobs were traditionally used as a substitute for toilet paper.)

Pedrito: Mom, we are out of toilet paper! Mama: Grab the Tuza next to the bathtub and wipe yourself! The Tuza cleans, detangles, and combs!
