If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit.

If I wanted something smaller than a paper towel I would buy napkins.
I just use them as napkins. It's not like I have the bleeding queen over for dinner.
You'd probably want bandages in that case.
Or maxi pads.

I just use a shirt sleeve. Who has time to get napkins out?

It's a gimmick and people will buy it because of the advertising. If there was no advertising and you had to learn by buying various products you'd get even more frustrated (I know I would).
I DO like the "select a size" towels even if it is a gimmick. I hate wasting an 11x11 sheet when I can use half of it for a spill. But then again if the spill is small enough that a 5.5 inch by 11 inch piece of paper can clean it up why can't a kitchen towel that I wash.
Honestly if we all think about it. If you spend 30 dollars a year on household rewashable towels that is CHEAP!! Bounty select a size 12pack is 17 dollars and if you use 1 roll a week thats 72 dollars a year. For that cost you could amass a nice amount of towels and still cover the cost of cleaning them.
lol.
Who the hell pays $17 for a 12 pack of paper towel rolls?

I prefer the Select a Size paper towels but I sure don't pay that much for them - I get them from Sam's Club.

I love these things. When I'm cleaning up bird poop, I really don't want to use a sponge or cloth, so paper towel is my friend.
