Hey, did you know that Viva is the best paper towel brand? It's true, it can absorb much more water and when soaked it holds up to three times as much washers as Bounty. Also did you know that the Cub Foods' brand and the Rainbow brand are exactly the same? It's true, grab a roll of each (make sure they're both the same ply.) look closely at the picture, then call the number on the package and inquire what they're made of, if you're lucky you'll get the same person I got who snapped at me, "Ma'am you just called a minute ago it's made out of the same stuff!"
Very interesting! Sometimes I'm faced with more than one option when purchasing paper towels and I'm not sure what to do, and I don't always feel like calling the manufacturer.
Could you post your data and analysis here? (I need it to justify some tax deductions.)
LOL. i've heard something similar about canned food products. many are the same just with different brand name labels. so why really spend more on a product just because of a brand name when it's made out of the exact same things as the cheaper-no-brand-name product....
Kyra I am thrilled you decided to post, but I don't see the current science connection here. Please read our community guidlelines about posting.

Thanks Kyra.
Viva may absorb more, but isn't Bounty the quicker picker upper?
