My hypothesis is that Bounty will be more absorbent than Sparkle Brands. Once my trials are done and the brand of paper towel that is more absorbent is revealed I will know if Bounty is the superior brand or not. The reason I believe Bounty is the more absorbent brand is because bounty has to be made up of a certain type of material to make more water be absorbed as soon as the paper towel touches the water. My EDUCATED guess on why Bounty paper towel brands are better is because Bounty is made out of a different material that can hold more water than other brands.
