Lol. Yeah. Young, young, OP.
Comment on "Select a size" when it's just standard paper towel roll. Literally the same way it's always been.

Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.
Paper towels, for most of my life (I’m old AF), were as long as they were wide. Square, they were. Bounty originated select-a-size by perforating them twice as frequently, so they were half as long as wide. Others eventually followed suit and now youngsters think that’s how it’s always been.

And Bounty always claimed to be the most absorbent brand of paper towel, so the move was like saying “you only need half as much of our paper towel compared to other brands.”
Not sure how actually absorbent they were; my family always got Brawny.

Burly Paper Towels are the best and the mascot is dreamy.
I’d let him split my wood if you know what I mean.

I prefer my penis in one piece, thank you very much.

I’m pretty sure that’s why my mom got Brawny. It was that sexy lumberjack.

Good thing those paper towels are so absorbent because I could drown a toddler in my panties right now.

I saw a documentary about Burly Paper Towels once. One of their most loyal customers got to meet the mascot Chad Sexington. Turns out he was a loser and I heard he’s a boozer.

Yup. I remember when we had to tear our own half sheets of paper towel. Kids today have it too soft, and absorbant.

Yeah I remember when they started advertising them like that. Back when the towels were about twice as long between perforations.

To be fair to OP, they really should’ve stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It’d be like if sliced bread was still advertised as “Now sliced for your convenience!” or whatever.

They still sell the square cut rolls though. This lets the buyer know it is the narrower cut.

How else am I to tell the difference between a full size and select a size? I buy full size for the garage and select a size for the house they serve two purposes so eliminating the standard size wouldn’t be the solution.

Buy shop cloths my friend.
It’s not a fabric product, still paper towels, just they’re made for automotive/shop use. I swear by them and they have no “select-a-size” option. They’re also thicker and come apart less than normal paper towels.

You’re talking about the blue stuff on a roll, right?

How is the larger size better for use in the garage?
