Someone is going to have to towel off Twitter after it’s latest controversy. We all know the social media app gets wrapped up in all sorts of touchy subjects (I mean who could forget the “Yanni/Laurel” debate that nearly tore this country in two) but this time it’s a simple question that seems to have the internet imploding. User @Advil tweeted this:
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.

As someone who lives with three other individuals to save on rent, I don’t think I am qualified to give my opinion on such luxury items. Instead, here’s what some of the tweeters think is the correct answer:
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

User @Ashar seems to be a towel expert however, and posted this precise response:
As a couple you should own a minimum of the following
10 Bath Sheets
10 Bath Towels
10 Hand Towels
20 Wash ClothsPreferably more https://t.co/CWqd8kp5vJ

Which left me and fellow user, @Mikel_Jollett asking:
What the hell is a “bath sheet?”

Never fear, because THERE IS AN ACTUAL CHART WAS MADE FOR AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS THIS.
2. For those asking what a bath sheet is, here’s a handy chart.

Well I suddenly feel impoverished. I guess I should head to Bed, Bath & Beyond before the inevitable stampeding and consequential towel shortage occurs.
