Bounty vs. Brawny

When we went to the store last month I insisted on getting Brawny paper towels because I thought that was the stronger one. Come on! Doesn't Brawny make you think of something strong? And then there's that muscular lumberjack on the front. Doesn't that speak strength? Doesn't Bounty just make you think of more? (As in, you need more...)

Art, however, felt he knew best. "Trust me," he said. "You're going to find out I'm right."

Well, I was cleaning the bathroom yesterday.

I read some place that I should use paper towels instead of sponges that are breeding grounds for germs. Paper towels are better because you use it and throw away the germs.

I used the Brawny yesterday and nearly complained that the paper towel he bought was horrible because it just fell apart while I was cleaning and had to use several more to finish the job. When I cleaned the 2nd bathroom, I used the Bounty (It does say One Sheet Keeps Cleaning.)and ONE sheet really did last throughout the cleaning.

When I realized that it really was the Bounty that was stronger, I did admit to Art that he was right.

What do you think he said?

Altogether now...."I....."

  1. interesting that Bounty wins! I use the Costco brand, they're amazing and extra large sheets.

  2. Don't you hate when the hubby is right-LOL!! I never say I told you so because my Mom always said that to my Dad. Men like to say that I think. Glad you found out which one was better and I would have thought you were right to Kay :)!!

  3. hmmm... Is that really true? I use a small wash cloth for the tubs and shower stall, and then throw it in the washing machine with the rest of my rags.

    Don't like to use sponges, cause they cannot be washed in the machine.

    For ordinary hand drying, we use Kirkland paper towels.

  4. I discovered Bounty was the best, but I was living alone at the time and didn't have to worry about the "I told you so" -- Sam Schnauzer only barks and if it isn't something to eat he doesn't care anyway!! Have a great day, Kay!

  5. I like your description of the two paper towels. I also like Bounty, it holds up better than others. Thank you for coming by.

  6. "I told you so."
    LOL
    Well, to me Brawny sounds larger, although perhaps not necessarily stronger, but I like Bounty.

  7. I think Art said "I love you, Kay, no matter what paper towel you use."

  8. Somebody needs to remove "I told you so" from our language, and from our thought processes.

  9. I guess " I told you so" is better than not caring at all.
    Sponges can be washed in the dishwasher.

  10. So, the moral of the story: you were enticed by the sex appeal of the Brawny dude, thinking he was tougher. The suggestion from an in-shape jogging dude (Art)is always better. What a hoot. DrumMajor

  11. I agree with you. I like Brawny,especially the 'pick a size!
    Oh well. Life goes on!

  12. I think it is very sweet that you are willing to spread the word that Art was right.

    I never use any towels except VIVA. Give them a try.

  13. Hmmm... Looks like I'll have to try a roll of Viva and compare.

  14. I like Bounty best! As for the "I ..." a roll of Bounty can stop that, too. Just stuff it in the little hole .... ;)

  15. We are trying to use rags instead of paper towels and use these more green ones when we do, but they aren't as good as either one of these...
