Impulse Buy

Just when you thought there wasn't anything more useless than a Cuddlee...... ("WOW, a blanket with sleeves!!!" or perhaps just a reverse dressing gown - dumbasses) I present the Wrap-Around-Towel.

Its a towel that wraps around you...... ooooooooooooooooo. It's claim to fame is that it doesn't have any fasteners but all I'm thinking is what they've created is a useless towel tube you can stroll around in, looking like a twat.

I think they have failed to see that while wrapping a towel around yourself IS one of the things we do with towels, it isn't EVERYTHING we do with them. What about Sunbathing? What about when you run out of home towels and you grab a beach one when you get out of the shower instead? What if a little kid wants to use the towel and it doesn't fit?!? What if your Mrs grabs yours on her way out instead of hers, only to have a public beach wardrobe malfunction of toga proportions? What about when you throw it in the wash and it gets all caught up with the other clothes cos its a bloody tube!

They call it the Wrap 'A' Round Towel but I reckon its just so people don't call it the WAT. Cos when you say WAT, it's only a short jump to WAT.T.F - spose you can see why they were worried.

Unless you want to go to a fancy dress party as someone from Asterix or if you want to see yourself as a human Fajita, I'd let this one go through to the keeper.

Did you watch the video? It is actually just a flat towel with three holes in it. Like three giant button holes, for arms. Not that I am going to run out and grab one immediately, but still much more useful than that stupid reverse dressing gown!
