But when I found out they were a brand owned by the Koch bro's, I dropped 'em. This was years and years ago. Back when bush stole the election.

I found there are plenty of other paper towels out there that can replace Brawny quite nicely.

One thing I do worry about, however, is private labeling. For example, if I buy paper towels at Aldi, are they made by the Koch bro's?
