Comment on "Select a size" when it's just standard paper towel roll. Literally the same way it's always been.

  Oh sweet summer child, paper towels used to only come in large square sheets.

  These smaller “select a size” didn’t become common until around the year 2000.

    No one has ever said that without sounding like an obnoxious dickhead

  Only 3 options? Does Brawny think it’s illegal to grab 3/4 of a sheet?

    Why only the one half? What if I want the other half?

      No, you must always throw the other half away.

  This picture clearly demonstrates that the original picture is, in fact, select-a-size since they are 1/2 size instead of full size.

  That’s not select-a-size. That’s just tiny ass paper towels. Select-a-size towels have no perforations and you cut them with scissors.
