and then someone swallows one and you have a situation
Bad case of Irritable Towel Syndrome
what the actual fuck? Capitalism is so weird 💀
What does capitalism have to do with this?
Thanks, Obama
There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
Disposable towels? Single use compressed Towels?
the endless focus on consumption with no reuse, the usage of resources?
It’s for hikers who need to be careful about how much weight they carry.
Weight or volume? Technically a compressed object weighs the same as uncompressed, ex. a sheet of paper
Skill issue, tbh… If you can’t afford the extra grams for two small towels, then you need to get a little bit more stamina.
agree, you rarely need 8 towels on even an extended trip and you don’t need a plastic holder for them.
2 light microfiber towels (one for dirty washing one for clean washing) stuff down very smol.
I used these things in my edc kit. It’s not about the weight, it’s about the space, and they’re really only ever used in emergencies. I wouldn’t say they’re a good product though.
Needlessly using disposable stuff for hiking is like driving a coal-rolling Diesel truck into the mountains to enjoy the pristine nature.
Name one communist country that has towel pills.
Vietnam.
What does this have to do with capitalism?
These “compressed towel tablets” are about 2cm across in diameter, and not pill sized as this picture implies, and are closer to wet wipes than actual, fluffy towels.
Still useful cleaning at music festivals though.
2cm has to be tool small. Surely they wouldn’t be useful that way
I believe they’re saying the pills are 2cm. It would be bigger once expanded
Ah, that went right over my head
if you have to put then in water to expand then what if you want a dry towel?
You’ve packed the wrong towel
Well if you’re trying to dry off then you wouldn’t put the towel in water first, you’d start drying off with the little tablet and by the end it’ll be a full, wet towel.
I didn’t think of that lol
That’s cool
Is this how cottonmouth happens?
