Brawny Man Fun Facts

He owns more than one shirt: While most people associate the Brawny man with his red plaid shirt, he has, in fact, worn six different shirts ranging from purple plaid to blue denim.

He knows what looks good on him: Okay, he’s worn different shirts, but in the end he went back to the tried and true red plaid shirt.

He never had an ax to grind: This lumberjack may have looked like he was carrying an ax in the 1970s but, in fact, he carried a peavey, a wooden lever used by lumbermen to handle logs.

He’s had hair issues: The original Brawny Man underwent two makeunders during his nearly thirty year tenure. The first, in 1984, was a slight haircut; the second was a side part in 1991.

He’s a fan of Auto Racing: Involvement of the Brawny Man with the sport dates back to 2001 when the brand first sponsored a car.

He doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight: In nearly thirty years of service the Brawny Man has happily stepped aside twice, allowing other deserving men to appear on the packaging. The first was auto racing superstar Richard Petty who appeared on the “Petty Pack,” a commemorative pack of paper towels in 2002. The second was Mario Cantacessi, a Los Angeles County firefighter who won the “Do You Know a Brawny Man?” contest and appeared on the packaging in 2003.

Wet is what I truly want to beeeee!

‘Cause if I were a Bounty paper towel,

Everyone would wipe their a** with meeeee!

Is that the one?

I have before. Many times, but I wouldn’t recomend it. You shouldn’t flush any type of paper towel down the toilet. If you have a septic tank it can be very harmful due to the fact they don’t break down like toilet paper does.
