Moist Towelette Scholarship Thriving

Moist Towelette Scholarship Thriving
At the Moist Towelette Museum (MOTOM, I guess) on the Michigan State campus, the potent-smelling wafers of hygiene get full documentation, by an astronomer. Moist towelettes are part of this week's Sporkful episode, along with napkins, hand-washing and more. Gear up for it by gazing longingly at lovingly preserved wipes from around the world, such as the Star Trek beauties above. They'll surely enable you to boldly go into a messy rack of ribs without fear of sticky fingers later. Don't miss the Spanish design flair of the Iberia airline towelette. Mad Men fans may enjoy this secretarial specimen.

Shockingly, moist towelette research does not yet merit an endowed chair at MSU, so MOTOM is a passion project of a planetarium employee. In fact, if you happen to own a planetarium, there's even a giant file that will project an endless field of moist towelettes onto the dome. Visitors are guaranteed to ooh and aah.
