People are only just discovering the ‘mind-blowing’ real use of paper towel holder
YOUR paper towel holder does more than give your roll a home, and the arms on it apparently aren’t just there to make it look fancy.
Taking to her TikTok to share thoughts that she usually shares with friends, LeeAnn Larsen schooled viewers on something they didn’t know about paper towel holders.
Larsen suspected that the seemingly decorative part of the paper towel holder, one of the arms, was there for more than aesthetic reasons.
In a video testing her theory out, she placed a sheet of paper towel between the two clip-like figures of the holder and was able to pull the sheet off with no effort.
People in the comments were astonished by the revolutionary find.
“I can’t even find the words to explain how much my mind is blown,” one user wrote.
