Quill.com has launched a line of Dunder Mifflin paper. The white copy paper comes in 20-pound cartons printed with the Dunder Mifflin logo and the slogans "Endless paper in a paperless world," and "Quabity first."

Inspired by the fictional shrimp company that made Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) an unwitting seafood mogul in the eponymous Oscar-winning film, the first Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant opened in 1996 in Monterey, California. The venture was a partnership between the production company Viacom and restaurateurs Scott Barnett and Gordon Miles. Today, the family-friendly seafood chain has 33 locations worldwide, serving mainly Southern and Cajun-inspired shrimp dishes. Quill.com will have to sell a lot of Dunder Mifflin paper to match that level of success.
