They were real! I discovered one in a bar maybe 20 years ago. At the time I wondered whether it was better or worse to wash my hands.

@Jes I can see there being issues with it not being sanitized correctly.

I remember having those in my elementary school. Never saw them anywhere else
-
@jbaggs I don't see a problem with it in a home setting. it would definitely be more sanitary than a towel over a loop IMO
-
@jbaggs and I have to be real, if it wasn't sanitized correctly, then most hotels would also be unsanitary tbf

@catsalad when you yank on the cloth it dispenses like 50cm of fresh towel, nbd

@catsalad
Some went from a spool to a roller and then got washed, so were OK, but I was at a campsite once with two ordinary towels stitched together around a couple of towel racks... -

@catsalad I HAVE SEEN ONE sorry for caps. I was at the banquet for my neighbor's firstborn in Chinatown and the restroom, which was of course in the basement, had the cloth loop hand towel thing. It looked exactly like the one with the paper towel roll inside, but it had this cursed loop of white terrycloth with a blue stripe in the center.
*edit: I forget if it had a lever to advance or if you were supposed to pull the towel
I declined to use this thing
