A little trick I learned after running out of Bounty paper towels in
half-sheets (Select-A-Size). Take a regular Bounty full sheet, turn
it 90 degrees, then tear in half. Do this very accurately and quickly
and you will get half sheets. Not exact matching sheets, but close
enough. Make sure you are tearing exactly in the middle of the whole
sheet. The faster you tear, the better.

How do you think they got the idea to make half sheets?

Excellent suggestion! Bounty paper towels work well when torn in
quarters, thirds, and more. Even short 1" strips come in handy when
folded and used with Scotch tape as make-shift bandages.

Oddly enough paper towels, and most paper in general, has a grain running in one direction. Paper will tear easier along the grain. If you tear across the grain you get a much more ragged edge.

Been doing this for years. Only, I am partial to Viva. They will even make it thru a wash and still have their oomph.
