Green Bay Packers fans better be sitting down before they read the first part of this story.
You know those custom-made AFC Championship terrible towels that are going to be waved by Steelers fans at the Super Bowl game in Dallas Stadium and sports bars across the country?
Well. . . they are made and supplied by a company in Wisconsin that lists their physical and shipping address as McArthur Towel & Sports, 700 Moore Street, Baraboo, WI 53913.
In fact the company is so proud of their Pittsburgh Steelers terrible towels, it is one of the products they pitch and boast about on their “About Page” saying:
“The high profile Gatorade Bench Towel and the Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towel are examples of the many promotional programs McArthur has created”
How about those silly-ass foam Cheeseheads all you Pack fans don for your home games, guess where those are made.
You can stand up now; that creation originated on your home turf by a company called “Foamation”. The company explains on their website that “Riding high from their only Super Bowl victory, fans of Chicago sports began ridiculing citizens of the Dairy State by calling them “Cheeseheads”. So this company responded by creating the original Cheeseheads.
Want a Cheesehead? You can get one delivered to your home from here.
