Brawny Paper Towels - Not gender specific now?
I'm also sick and tired of all the PC. I buy cheap paper towels so I can't boycott Brawny...but I would if I could. To hell with all of them. These companies won't get any of my money. Does it matter in the long run? I don't care, I do it anyways.

Well, having worked in a female prison for 9 years, I can say I've known some "Brawny" chicks. Fought a couple, too. One set me on fire once. Ah, the good old days.

As far as paper towels go, that shit costs 3 or 4 times what I pay. The 10 pack at Kroger of generic towels costs 10 bucks regular, 2 for ten on sale. So, it's not a political statement (although I resent the BS,) I don't buy Brawny.

I typically buy off-brand paper towels anyway.

I don’t care about packaging either but by principle only I won’t buy brawny now. I’ll stick with Kirkland.

Para put it very succinctly. It’s the same as the Gillette bullshit. Im not buying anything from anyone pandering to the social justice movement. If they want to hate white males, they can do so without my fucking money.

Brawny is woke!

I buy the Costco Kirkland Signature brand. No idea who makes them, but they do a fine job of doing what paper towels are supposed to do, and they are pretty affordable.

They tried so hard to be woke, but they still lose PC points.

They fucked up and put the white chick center forward of the black grandma and mexican broad.

Zip up Brawny. Your bias is hanging out.

I quit Procter and Gamble when Gillete "got woke". Seems like it was a good call...

Bounty, ( The Quicker Picker-Upper! ) guy here.

Screw all this SJW nonsense! Mad

Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but Bounty is a Proctor & Gamble company, which owns Gillette.

I wonder if anyone if the marketing department, at least for a moment, considered dressing them in French Maid outfits. Wink

Their market researchers might have come up with the idea. Or their advertising department.

It is cute but a little too PC ... Roll Eyes

I care not either way, as it is cloth-only for my wants. I keep a roll of Bounty (the Quicker-Picker-uper, not that I am a slave to advertising) for sweetie when she visits, as she is a paper towel person. As are many people who have kids.

I get Costco's finest. As for that 'pick a size' shit, there's a lotta vid's on YouTube that can teach how to tear a sheet into halves or even into quarters. Roll Eyes

Seriously? Some people require a video presentation to explain how to tear a paper towel into sections? Wow! Never wud have thunk it.
