Um, not sure if you are joking but just in case...I'm talking about the mention of towels not sold here at AG.

OMG.... wasn't *that* post (
the "rules" one) something that Xi Jinping, or better yet... Kim Jong-un would be MOST proud of.
OP.....
As for removing 'tags' (
on towels of a brand we won't mention, bought at a place we can't say) or on ANY towels that tend to have the 'loop' tag sewn in, there is an easy way to get the out, that doesn't involve a sharp object.
First... WASH (and dry them). Of course you should be washing all your towels before using.
Now that they are all dried:
slip your finger into the loop
hold one side of the loop very tightly, between your thumb and index finger
Give ONLY that one side a quick "yank" in one direction (
not enough to totally remove it, just getting it started).
Then give that same side a quick "SNAP" in the other direction.
Usually that'll be all you need to remove *HALF* the tag.
Once half of it has been removed, then move to the other half.
Quick "SNAP" in one direction followed by a "YANK" in the other, and the tags tend to come off.
DO NOT try and yank, snap, rip, tear or otherwise manhandle the entire 'loop' at once... lest you do indeed damage the outside of the towel. Also... if that method doesn't work after first wash, it generally does after the second one.
Now I don't have any of the towels that you showed a photo of, so can't say for those EXACT ones. But I have had some from 'those guys' that were swapped out by a member. They were of the gold plush variety.
(
However.. I don't remember them having sewn-in tags.)
I *DO* keep a bundle of towels sitting around from the big membership warehouse that starts with "cost", and ends with "co"....
which always have sewn-in tags. I've used the above method for a good 5 years on them and have managed to damage the edge of the towel maybe 2~3 times total, (
out of at LEAST 30~35 dozen).
