I don't buy Bounty because it is owned by the Koch family. I don't buy Donny for similar reasons.

1. Umm, sorry. Brawny is owned by Koch. Bounty is not (owned by Procter & Gamble)--which is why I buy it.

2. Beat me to it,

I boycotted Brawny back in the Tea Party days.

3. Why I don't buy Bounty ...

I use 7th Generation which has a high % of recycled paper.

6. I buy some 7th Generation, but honestly, I go through TOO many paper towels. I'd have to take out a loan...

--to buy 7th Generation (and go to about a dozen stores to buy the quantity I try to keep on hand--i.e., messy people... messy dogs... )

But I do try to buy their other products and I recommend them highly as an ethical company.

5. Oops, I meant to say Brawny. And Brawny rhymes with Donny. I fucked up, just like Donny!

7. You're still right using Bounty. Bounty is just not as deep into TACO's Pocket.

4. Koch brands are Brawny, Angel Soft, Quilted Northern, Sparkle

....Dixie and Vanity Fair. I never buy them.

8. I never buy Brawny or Bounty.

I buy Kirkland brand paper towels at Costco.

9. I don't have a Costco anywhere near me but I'm hoping for one someday
