Here's an interesting fact: Sparkle paper towels come with Thirst Pockets-so our towels are more than just pretty, they're also strong and absorbent.

Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products Group The manufacturing magic happens courtesy of Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products Group. What does Thirst Pockets® mean? Basically, it's the reason why our paper towels are able to quickly absorb spills and messes - they're just so darn thirsty that we decided to call them Sparkle® with Thirst Pockets®!

WE USE RECYCLED FIBER TO MAKE PAPER TOWELS. Did you know that the Sparkle® brand uses up to 37,000 tons of recovered office paper that might otherwise end up in a landfill to help make our paper towels instead? That's equal to about 6.1 billion sheets of office paper every year!

Sparkle makes a great general cleaning paper towel, soft to the touch, not too "linty", and they can ever be used by the sheet as pick-a-size saying you even more money. Amazon makes it easy to purchase at a great price and I always get them in days.

Paper towels have become commonly used elements today, but their history dates to 1879 when Clarence and Irvin Scott – two brothers from Philadelphia founded their paper company. They began to manufacture tissue papers and 1000 sheets were part of a roll, which was sold for ten cents each.

Paper towels are made from either virgin or recycled paper pulp, which is extracted from wood or fiber crops. They are sometimes bleached during the production process to lighten coloration, and may also be decorated with colored images on each square (such as flowers or teddy bears).

The invention was accidental, sure, but a medical success! It would help stop the spread of colds and diseases. No more communal cloth towels contaminated with teeny tiny germs. The first paper towel was named Sani-Towel and was sold to restaurants, hotels, and railroad stations and distributed in their washrooms.

Sparkle paper towels are surprisingly strong. The texture is soft and has a waxy-like feel. Despite being thin, Sparkle's paper towels hold together well even when you give them a hard pull. On rough surfaces, it stood up well and only had one small tear on it after we ran it over carpet.
