OAITW r.2.0

It's been recently brought to my attention RE: Paper Towels [View all]

Recently, I've been buying paper towels with a new technology.

Not only are they perforated into 1/2 segments, but each 1/2 has a perforation that makes (1) 4" x 4" and (1) 4" x 5" segments. The former makes a nice coaster.

Seriously, better utility in matching clean-up to towel size.

I detest those select-a-size paper towels. Too narrow. Might as well use a piece of Kleenex. 3catwoman3 Mar 2021 #13
