Bounty Select-A-Size Paper Towels, 12 Huge Rolls

I’m not here to comment on the quality of the paper towels. I’m here to point out the fact that Bounty sells paper towels in the following marketing nonsense sizes: Regular, Large, Big, Giant, Mega, Super, Double, and Huge. This is dumb. Large dumb. Big dumb. Mega dumb. Huge dumb.

I assume the point of all these sizes is to make it impossible to price compare (“wait, which is more, 6 Mega rolls or 8 Giant rolls?”). Intentional obfuscation like this is basically just hostile to consumers…so screw Bounty.

Bounty is sneakily reducing the size of Huge. If you look at earlier reviews – starting around 2012 — “Huge” shrunk from 210 sheets to 193 sheets. and if you look at the reviews over the years, you see that Bounty has continued to shring “Huge.”

Right now people are discussing that Bounty (is down to) 175 sheets.

Well my recent delivery says only 157, whihc is even less than the current picture shows at 158.

Basically, “Huge” is 25% less than it was 4 years ago – but still the same pricing.

Sneaky way to effectively increase the price by actually giving less and less of the product over time. Bounty is hoping that its consumers won’t notice but if they do, they will still buy Bounty — which frankly is what I am doing.

The product itself is its usual greatness — I just go through the rolls 25% faster than I used to because in fact there is 25% less product.

WARNING – The new size of Bounty S&S is still listed as 2 huge rolls = 5 regular rolls, but the new rolls are only 142 sf instead of 160, which is a 12% reduction in value for you as the consumer. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

As other’s have expressed, Bounty tries to profit from deliberately obfuscating/bloating the numbers that a discerning consumer would need for comparison shopping and assessing value.

Furthermore, the reduction in the number of sheets between my last two shipments is pretty glaring. As are the price hikes.

Do they pay people to come up with these schemes? Do they pay them handsomely and give them fat bonuses based on how stealthily they can gouge the public? Because that would be shameful.

Don’t let Bounty get away with it.

My dollars (and stars) are going elsewhere.

There are worms inside the box and inside each roll of paper. DIGUSTING! My 19 month old baby pointed it out to me, which as you can imagine freaked us out. This is completely unacceptable. I’d give it 0 stars if I could.

While the price is the same, the size of the roll has decreased significantly. Overall, you are shorted about one roll per carton, yet paying the same price. I swear by Bounty paper towels however, I will definitely be watching the size of the roll going forward.

We have 2 cats and a puppy and we go through so many paper towels. It was nice to get a big box of them and not have to worry about going to the store for a while. You can break in to the smaller quarter pieces too, which I like a lot. And the rolls are huge. Great quality

I was tired of changing the roll every other day with the big rolls of Viva that I was purchasing for the past few years. I am so happy that I tried these mega rolls. The bounty rolls are more absorbant and less prone to leave lint on my glass. As a bonus, they still fit my papertowel dispenser.
