People Can't Agree on the Correct Number of Napkins to Grab, and It's Getting Heated

Somewhere between two and forty-five lies the truth, and America cannot find it.

It starts innocently at the drive-thru window: a handful of napkins tossed into the bag. But how many is correct? The internet recently discovered it has no idea, and no chill.

Team Minimalist takes exactly what they need, maybe two, and lives dangerously. Team Stockpile grabs a fistful every single time, building a glove box archive that could survive a decade of spills.

The stockpilers make a compelling case. When the sauce catastrophe comes, and it always comes, who saves the day? Not the minimalist. The glove box napkin hoard is America's true emergency fund.

Perhaps that's the answer: napkin abundance in the car isn't greed, it's preparedness. The correct number of napkins, science may one day confirm, is always 'a few more.'
