Who invented these things... and why were they ever used...

Yeah but they work. Much more effective than paper.

they encouraged a sense of sharing and community lol

When they work correctly (as designed), they are good for the environment as they are recyclable.

The issue (normally) is, that like the towels seen in the photo, they have not been serviced correctly. Usually because the company owning the facility doesn't think it is important......

It’s another thing you can add to your list of things that should have killed us off years ago but we are still here.

Maybe Mike Lindell the [i]"My Towel"[/i] guy. Buy one get the second one free, at the lowest price in history 😳

Yep, they were great for spreading moisture from one set of hands to another.

They used to help keep people's immune system stronger 🤷

They used to be common in schools, and service stations. Lol

What would you rather wipe your hands on?

I remember these in service stations

Lol! I like thse. We have one at work.

Had to change them when done

Very disgusting

What am I look at here?

What’s that?

What is it?

They were part of a conspiracy

They were invented for the purpose of saving paper. Nobody thought about the consequences of giving a cloth loop to the general public.
