"[Stuff We Love] One Terrific Towel -- The campers and gym-goers on our staff love Mystic Maid's new Sports/Outdoor Super-Absorbent Drying Towel. It rolls up tightly enough to fit in the front pocket of your backpack or gym bag (it's shorter and skinnier than a bath towel), yet this buttery-soft, almost paper-thin microfiber find is absorbent enough to dry off your entire body after a shower or a dip in the lake. We especially like the rich mocha color, as well as the elastic loop on one end that ensures it won't fall off a shower hook or tree branch." Health Magazine, October 2003
"On occasion, I treat myself to a slice of New York-style pizza, so I was eager to try to save a few grams of fat by using Mystic Maid Grease Blotters, which are supposed to absorb excess oil from greasy foods and soups . . . At the parlor, I pulled out a sheet and patted it on my slice. Half a sheet absorbed about half a teaspoon of grease . . . I was sold—I’m keeping a pack in my purse for dining-out emergencies."

"Sop Up Pizza’s Oil Slick— Grease Blotter sheets, made from the same absorbent material that picks up oil slicks, wick up oil from soups, sauces, fried foods, and pizza. They’ll save you several grams of fat each time you use them."

"High tech for the masses—Cleaning cloth designed for semi-conductor industry comes home. Forget using that old T-shirt to dust your bookshelves -- cleaning has gone high-tech. The new Mystic Maid, a cleaning cloth developed for ‘clean room’ use in Japan's semiconductor industry, is wiping up its competition . . . The company's Grease Blotter, meantime, makes the paper towel obsolete when it comes to absorbing grease, fats and oil on the surface of soups, stews and broth. And it works just as well on solid foods like bacon, sausage and pizza."
San Francisco Chronicle, May 10, 2003
"But ‘you definitely do decrease calories when you sop up the fat,’ says Paul Lachance, Ph.D., a food-science professor at Rutgers University. Now there are Grease Blotters, papery polyester circles that absorb grease from fried foods, pizza, and soups better than paper towels can. The blotters are FDA-approved for food duty, which means less chemical residue than paper towels leave, Lachance says."

"The slick that spreads over turkey gravy or pot-roasted brisket for Hanukkah will not threaten wildlife, but skimming it off improves the dish. Now, instead of strainers and other gadgets, there are Grease Blotters (by Mystic Maid), sheets of polypropylene and polyester that suck up fat. They are nearly eight inches in diameter, and will fit into most pots without touching the hot metal sides . . . A hole in the center lets steam escape and allows them to lie flat. On a plate or cutting board, they will drain fat from latkes or bacon and blot the top of the pizza."
The New York Times, November 27, 2002
"Oh, and we forgot. You blot your pizza with a napkin. How dainty. Well buddy, you're using the wrong tool. True fat-phobes have discovered Mystic Maid Grease Blotters, oil-sucking sheets of polypropylene and polyester. (Consider it lipo for fatty foods, and please let the lipo stop there.) Originally designed in large sheets to soak up oil after tanker disasters, they also do the job on gravy, bacon, and ham. Which makes them the perfect vacuum for the pools of grease on your slice. (And no napkin debris on the cheese!)"
