Why Every New Yorker Should Put Paper Towels in the Fridge
Paper towels in the fridge? Why would you put paper towels in the fridge? There are actually plenty of reasons.
Those rolls are more useful than just cleaning up spills. They have plenty of benefits and every New Yorker should be putting them in their refrigerators.
