Paper Towels - Select a Size

I was raised in a household that had paper towels, but did not use them. We used cloth towels for most things, rags for the really messy, nasty stuff that would be so bad the rag would need to be thrown away.  Or, sometimes we used rags, and washed them.

I lived much of my adult life like that, also.  But "select a size" changed that. Some paper towel manufacturers have decreased the size of the towel, so you can use half as much for each chore.  This was marketing genius as far as I am concerned.  I am not as hesitant to use a half sheet size paper towel for a small mess, where as when I only had access to the large sheet, and needed less, it was a waste, so I did not use paper towel. 

So, I use more paper towels now than I ever have in my life!
