The Daily Mail reported a story about a child’s experience at KFC which left him with a hand towel for dinner.

The incredulous stepmom told the Daily Mail, “When he bit into it, it was rock hard. He pulled it out of his mouth and when he did, it pulled away the batter—you could see the blue roll inside.” Concerned that the towel could contain bleach or disinfectant, Henderson felt terrible. She received an apology and her stepson got a free meal.Walmart’s Black Friday Bestseller Cost 29 Cents

The Terrible Towel is a rally towel displayed by fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a National Football League (NFL) team in the United States. Fans bring their towels from all over the world and they have become a widely recognized Steelers symbol.
WTAE posted an article about the Terrible Towel Wall which debuted at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ home stadium, Heinz Field. The wall displays and preserves the wide variety of Terrible Towels. Team president Art Rooney II said, “It makes a great addition to the Great Hall at Heinz Field, and I’m sure that our fans will enjoy recalling the history of The Terrible Towel.”
The first Terrible Towel appeared just before the Steelers’ 1975 playoff game against the Baltimore Colts. Long-time radio broadcaster Myron Cope created the towel, and a portion of sales are donated in Cope’s memory to the Allegheny Valley School.
