Idaho Spudnik Satellite Mission Patch Bath Towel Set
A humorous depiction of a potato as a satellite dubbed "Spudnik-1", with forks serving as antenna, in orbit around the earth. Features the Spudnik-1 mission patch superimposed on a starry background. There are two places for you to add your own text.
I have met people who do not believe Idaho is a real place. Others know it is somewhere in flyover territory, but can not place it any better - "Isn't that somewhere near Nebraska?" Mostly, people just think it is a backward place. Not true! Idaho has a space program and placed a satellite in orbit. The scientists and engineers at the Idaho Space Authority dubbed it the Idaho Geosynchronous Agriculture and Forest Fire Observation Tuber, or IGAFFOT for short. IGAFFOT does not exactly roll off the tongue so the governor sponsored a satellite naming contest among the state's elementary school students. There were a number of suggestion including Tater Tot, but almost 99 percent of the students suggested Spudnik; and so it was. During a television interview the director of the Idaho Space Authority explained that potatoes make wonderful observation platforms as they can be mass-produced locally and generally have several eyes. In addition, when the orbit decays the tuber is re-entry baked by friction with the atmosphere. All you need if you find one of these satellites after it comes down is butter, salt and pepper; with maybe a bit of sour cream.

The towel is great! Back and front are made differently. Front is like plush, it still wipes out moist very well which in my opinion is rare. The quality is perfect! The metallic colors are not visible after printing. Design is very close to the original. I thought that colors will be stronger as on the image but they are not, which is also good.
Two of the pics look yellowish because of the lighting in my bathroom. You can see how it looks in real on the third one.

I ordered these towels because I am getting ready to stage my house for sale and wanted some really pretty towels to show off the bathroom. These are an absolutely perfect match for the teal walls and I could not be more pleased. Not only do they look beautiful, they also seem to be very good quality. They are different than any other towels I've had, as the surface fibers are not looped. I love that because I have never liked how most towels have loops that snag and pull no matter how careful you are. I pre-washed them and they came out beautifully. The towels are generously sized and they don't feel flimsy at all. I did not read the description well enough to understand I was paying as much as I was paying for just exactly what was pictured: not a set of two, but a single towel, hand towel and washcloth, so they are way more expensive than I thought (which was a lot, considering). However, I still love them enough that I went ahead and ordered a single additional bath towel so that I would have an actual set, but will need to buy a couple of solid color washcloths. Pricing is weird, because a single wash cloth is priced higher than a large bath towel?? Anyway, if you can afford them, these towels are fantastic. I would never pay this much except to show off a house for sale, but now that I've done it I will love them in my new home as well. Gorgeous! Vibrant Colors and exactly as pictured,..maybe evern better!
