Wow! New feature! Now you can CHOOSE how many paper towels you grab from the roll!
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.
Yup. I remember when we had to tear our own half sheets of paper towel. Kids today have it too soft, and absorbant.
I did that the other day
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?
I have some and they are select-a-size.
For reference, this is Brawny paper towels where the sheets are perforated the other direction, allowing you to actually tear a half sheet. This is what “select a size” should mean.
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.
Oh sweet summer child
No one has ever said that without sounding like an obnoxious dickhead
