Several folk here have said they weren't a looping towel.
Some of them.
As a child and teenager, I specifically remember them as being damp already. So yes, nasty.

@catsalad
Last saw one in a London tube station about 48 years ago. Had seen them in the movies, so knew what it was, but it was horrifying.On the other hand, when I was about 10, went with a neighbor to Haymarket in Boston, he got some oysters off of a cart, and wiped his hand on a little towel that was *nailed* to the cart.

@catsalad yes. I think they were supposed to only go around once...

@emily_rugburn @alice @catsalad ahh that's also very common in soccer

@catsalad Oh, the ones that were always already damp when you went to use them?

@grumpy_copi @catsalad I can confirm this also. I have changed a few of them. They were not as nasty as one thinks. Still nasty β oh yes! β but not as nasty.
@IanAMartin @grumpy_copi @catsalad thank you for making me a bit knowledgeable on the subject. I only encountered this thing recently, a-few-months-ago'ish, and was taken aback by the prospect of drying my hands on that suspicious rolly towel.
