Napkins are napkins, right? Sure some might be bigger or fluffier or prettier but they’re all generally the same. At least in my experience. I picked up some America’s Choice generic napkins the other day and every time I use them I cringe. They aren’t very absorbent and kinda non-porous. Their qualities reflect that of paper more than napkins. I could probably run these babies through my ink-jet printer except they might not absorb the ink.

We have a set of bath towels that have the same problem. They stay very dry. Primarily because they absorb none of the water on our bodies.
What exactly would be the point of them then? But they were wedding gifts without a receipt or tags and we can’t get rid of them save for donations.
aw man, i hate crappy napkins.
good lordy…and here I don’t post to my blog that often because I can’t think of anything to say. Maybe I should blog about the crappy toilet paper I bought the other day. :)
The paper napkins are probably a lost cause. As for the bathtowels: I’ve always heard that fabric softener tends to make towels un-absorbent. So maybe next laundry day, wash and dry those suckers without softener, and see what happens.
