Because of this I use paper towels and a lot of them. I buy the wipes, the disposable scrubs and yes rolls and rolls of paper towels. Normally it takes about 3-5 paper towels for any given mess. Then another 2-3 to double dry the mess and then another 2-3 to dry my hands. This goes on all day. I don't buy the freaking tear a sheet crap either. All this does is double my paper towel usage.
The other day Bounty was on sale, which is just crazy in itself. The shitty economy makes the most expensive paper towel get cheaper, crazy. So I bought it. I have seen the commercials just like the rest of you. You toss the egg 88 feet in the air and catch it in the towel bs. Better yet the spill a bottle of wine on the floor and use "one bounty sheet" to pick it up (rolling my own eyes here).
Well I hate to tell you but yes its absorbent and yes its strong. Maybe a little too damn strong. I am finally on my last roll and here is the report. After 6 rolls I now have Carpel Tunnel from trying to rip those bastards off the roll. I have prematurely thrown away hundreds maybe even thousands of paper towels before they were ready. I have ran out of TP twice and force fed my toilets these bath towels, and they weren't very pleased. I feel like I have violated my local land fill not to mention my environment. So thanks but no thanks! I will stick to my cheap ass see through paper towels and be just fine.
Side Note: You want to know what my biggest fear is, Salmonfreakingella. It doesn't usually look so nice, but no ugly pics allowed.
