Millennials, it's the only thing we're good at, we suck at everything else...
I meant who thinks zoomers are good with technology.
We killed napkins motherfucker
Also stigma about depression, no stigma when you're the majority.
Do you use your sleeve? I donβt understand.
Apparently millennials prefer paper towels over napkins and it's affecting the napkin industry.
"tissues" vs "kitchen rolls" for anyone wondering what a paper towel is compared to a napkin.
I gotta say, I always found tissues just sub-par for the job. A kitchen roll (towel? sleeve? paper?) you just need to fold it once and it will hold against a storm
Maybe napkins is some kind of influencer or something

I'm not, tho. π
Have a discussion with me about napkins. This is a social website.
Lol fine
Napkins are shit and deserved to die. You need to clean your face, a paper towel is better. You need to clean a general mess, napkins are useless. You need to blow your nose or touch a sensitive orifice or mucous membrane, Kleenex is your boi.... Napkins were a dumb waste of additional manufacturing lines and supply chains.

Ok, the first article says "Millennials killed the paper napkin industry" then says they're using paper towels instead
WTF is the difference between a paper napkin and a paper towel? I thought they were the same thing? π
Lol apparently so did millenials ;)
It's a different grade of paper, usually flat and without the ridges that make paper towels absorbant (or at least the "look I'm absorbant" marketing signifier). Very very cheap napkins and paper towels are mostly indistinguishable.
Paper towels are (traditionally) rolled on a cardboard tube and meant to clean up larger messes.
Napkins are meant to adorn a table and clean one's face while eating.
A paper towel is a napkin but a napkin is not a paper towel.
