Twitter on fire over man's basic homewares question
Twitter can be a weird and wonderful place and yesterday, one tweet showed the power of the social media giant, when it lit up over a simple question about towels.
A user called Abdul took to his account to settle a debate between him and his girlfriend on how many towels he should have in his apartment.
“Hello fellow adults. My gf and I have a question… what is the correct amount of towels to own?,” he started the tweet.
hello fellow adults. my gf and i have a question… what is the correct amount of towels to own? i said 10 and she looked at me like i was crazy. we have zero frame of reference on the appropriate amount of towels in a household of two.

“I said 10 and she looked at me like I was crazy. we have zero frame of reference on the appropriate amount of towels in a household of two.”
Abdul, who now calls himself a ‘Towel Influencer’, immediately stirred up a fierce debate online, with people revealing all the types of towels they own.
From their fancy towels, to towels they use for guests, to ones they use when they wear makeup – Twitter users couldn’t stop talking about towels.
Check out the best tweets below:
10-15 for two people is appropriate. You could never have too many towels. I believe I have 12 for two people and I wish I had more. I could not stress this enough. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY TOWELS.

My random rule of thumb: Two full sets for each person in the house, plus a full set for each guest you have space for. If you have a dog, you need approximately 100 more. https://t.co/8aOce2GI3L

My father's rule of thumb was to have enough to skip laundry for 2 weeks. I keep enough for at least 3. https://t.co/NOwxrDcvlg— R. A. Scientist (@CoquiTalksTrash) February 18, 2019
