Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.
Paper towels, for most of my life (I’m old AF), were as long as they were wide. Square, they were. Bounty originated select-a-size by perforating them twice as frequently, so they were half as long as wide. Others eventually followed suit and now youngsters think that’s how it’s always been.
And Bounty always claimed to be the most absorbent brand of paper towel, so the move was like saying “you only need half as much of our paper towel compared to other brands.”
Not sure how actually absorbent they were; my family always got Brawny.
To be fair to OP, they really should’ve stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It’d be like if sliced bread was still advertised as “Now sliced for your convenience!” or whatever.
How else am I to tell the difference between a full size and select a size? I buy full size for the garage and select a size for the house they serve two purposes so eliminating the standard size wouldn’t be the solution.
It’s not a fabric product, still paper towels, just they’re made for automotive/shop use. I swear by them and they have no “select-a-size” option. They’re also thicker and come apart less than normal paper towels.

Yup. I remember when we had to tear our own half sheets of paper towel. Kids today have it too soft, and absorbant.
I did that the other day

Yeah I remember when they started advertising them like that. Back when the towels were about twice as long between perforations.

They still sell the square cut rolls though. This lets the buyer know it is the narrower cut.

Buy shop cloths my friend.

You’re talking about the blue stuff on a roll, right?
I have some and they are select-a-size.
