Viva paper towels used to be the absolute best! When I moved to another state years ago, I couldn't buy them and had them shipped to me from my home state. I have allergies and Viva was the only thing that worked. It was soft, strong and didn't leave lint everywhere. Now they feel like medium grit sandpaper on one side and fine sand paper on the other side. They fall apart after you blow your nose once. It is a huge disappointment. I hope I can find a replacement that works almost as well as Viva used to.
