Review on 🧻 Pacific Blue Basic C-Fold Paper Towels - Acclaim by GP PRO (20603) - White, 240 Towels per Pack, 10 Packs per Case by Jerry Mangum

Revainrating 3 out of 5

More expensive than Bounty, choose size

I usually buy Bounty paper towels (green, not yellow) in my chosen size at Walmart. $8.92 for 6 Super Rolls - 606 sheets per pack. These folded GP towels have 1440 sheets and cost $26.99. So it costs $0.015 per sheet for Bounty and $0.019 per sheet for these GP towels. So GP towels cost 21% more per sheet. A very interesting finding is that Bounty sheets of the selected size weigh 3 grams, while GP towels weigh 4-5 grams each (let's say 4.5 grams). This means that GP towels weigh around 40-50% more than Bounty towels, but cost 21% more. The bounty hand performs just as well, if not slightly better than these full size GP hands. So there is little reason for me to repurchase these GP towels now that I am also losing my starting fires (roll of paper towels)! :D All in all, these are great industrial reusable towels, but they're more expensive than buying a Bounty for home use. They make good guest paper towels in the bathroom. I prefer them to the ridiculously fluffy and overly soft guest towels that some restaurants and people use as I find them to be faster absorbing and less wasteful/overdone. .Bounty select-a-size = Approximately 37 grams of water is retained by each leaf. GP Sheet = Approximately 23 grams of water is retained by each sheet. As a result, cheaper and lighter Bounty towels contain approximately 60% more water per sheet than GP towels.
