I don't care where they were invented. What I get upset about is the blatant deceit. They are scamming people and they know it

[@ersia87]

They were actually invented by Curt Lindquist in 1949 while working in a sausage skin- and sponge factory (korvskinns- och tvättsvampsfabrik) in Norrköping. He gave it the name Wettex (Abbrevation of "wet" and "textile"). So Wettex is actually the original! If a sausage skin- and sponge factory sounds like a weird combo, it's because both things were made of cellulose, I think.

[@EmKatSam]

That such a clever thing to do! It wouldn't probably cross my mind. 😅

[@natafs]

I was curious whether they blocked you because you told people where to get the cloths cheap or if they had an issue with the swedish dishcloth thing. So I left a totally friendly comment asking if they where swedish dishcloths, and sure enough i was blocked. Definitely seems like they are trying to market a product that has exsited for decades as new, innovative and unique.

[@MeaganAfterDark]

No way!! You were blocked?! They’re not blocking everyone… probably because too many people are leaving comments about Sweden lol

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Probably they don't have a license to reproduce and sell them as their own product, stole copyright material and potentially Trade Mark infringement.

[@progperljungman8218]

Sure, there's "designer" wettex in Sweden too. But then everyone knows it's the cool design you pay for to make it a part of your ordinary everyday dish cloth use. Making people believe it's a new invention is just fraud...

Did I just go to the papaya reusable instagram and posted a comment on their most recent post? Well of course I did.

I want to use sustainable products but I certainly can't afford what Papaya is asking.

I saw the insane prices from this company and went straight to KZbin. I never thought I would find the world of Swedish dishcloths. I also didn’t expect to watch this entire video and be as entertained as I was. The drama is so goodddd

[@mounthoodsts]

I looked at this company's ads on IG today and they responded to someone's comment about the lower prices on Ebay and Amazon by stating that these towels (papaya brand) are superior to the cheaper Swedish dish towels, claiming that their product goes through rigorous testing, lasts longer, and is of greater quality. They state that the hole for hanging is unique to their brand along with the included hook. Sounds like they are trying to scam people.

[@AlexKall]

Ah yes, the dreaded hole, so tough to make! Haha yeah it's a scam alright!

[@SK-oo5uq]

[@iaracunha9650]

Omg! Thank you so much for this video!! I ran into those same instagram adds and got interested in the product, after going on their website and seeing the prices, I decided to check some reviews first to see if it was worth it. That's when I run into your video. I'm Brazilian, living in Canada, and had never heard about "swedish dishcloths" before. I just threw this term on Amazon and found tons of options!! Bought a 6 pack for 14 dollars. I like the idea of supporting a Canadian brand, and try to do so as much as possible, but 44 CAD (the price as of today) for a 4 pack is a bit too much. So, for my Canadian friends, if you can't find local, just go to Amazon and be happy. Those products are really amazing, I'm happy I discovered it. And thank you again for calling this out!!

I had to snoop. On one of their videos (from nov 14th) they answer a question of where they are made. They are apparently made in Germany and printed + packed in China? Not so sustainable after that. Seems like they might be really cheap to make if they ship them to china.

[@hybridwafer]

Quite impressive to ship a product between 3 continents and call themselves Eco-friendly. I try to see past virtue signalling as best I can but to make up stories and then brag about it is pathetic.

I just reported the company to Wettex. The ones who invented it. I'm guessing they are allowed to sell them since a patent only lasts about 70 years. It's been 70 years now. That's most likely why they are allowed to sell them.

Patent ran out in the 70ies, so it's not an issue but the funny thing is that Wettex has representation in the US. Also Papaya are not the only ones selling these for 10-20 times the price but they are probably pretty alone in, somewhat, claiming it's their invention.

I asked if it was similar to sweden dish cloth and they are trying to sale it can be hung up with the hook they provide. Other than that you showed in this video the material is similarly to Sweden clothes. Basically seems I would be paying for a hole and hooks. 😆As a KZbin Personality have you did a comparison would be nice to see a video compating the two. Here is their response which they did not answer it to my comment but replied on FB messager. Yep skeptical. Hi Lakeisha! Our Reusable Paper Towels are similar to traditional Swedish dish cloths, but are SO MUCH BETTER! Unlike some of those cheaper options that range in quality, ours are made with the highest quality materials, so they clean better, are more durable and last longer! 🌱 Most importantly, unlike any other Swedish dish cloth you'll find, Papaya is the ONLY brand that comes with a hole cut out of the corner, and includes a hanging hook with each set! This is the Papaya difference that creates a WAY better user experience. No more hanging them to dry over your faucet or leaving them wet and soggy in your sink! Based on feedback from customers who have tried similar products without the hook, the hook truly makes all the difference! It’s conveniently there to grab whenever you need it, it’s the perfect storage spot when you're not using it, and it also helps it dry quicker which inhibits the growth of bacteria so it doesn’t get that mildewy dish cloth smell! 🌱 We also work with, and compensate local artists to print their beautiful patterns on our cloths, so they look cuter hanging in your kitchen! 🌱Lastly, unlike many Swedish dishcloths that come packaged in cheap plastic that end up in the landfill, we try and ensure our packaging is as sustainable as possible - using recyclable cardboard and shipping in 100% compostable mailers! All of these extras and care we take in creating our product do increase the price over buying a cheaper Amazon version, but we hope you'll give ours a try and experience the difference for yourself :)✨
