What are paper napkins used for?

Telling Paper

The paper napkins themselves originated in ancient China, where paper was invented in the 2nd century AD. Folded square napkins are used to hold tea. The historical accuracy of this claim is supported by documents describing the property of the Yu family in Hangzhou.

When did paper napkins come into use in North America? They appeared in the late 19th century, but didn’t become popular until 1948 – because Emily Post declared, “It is much better to use napkins than to use linen napkins at breakfast.”

Paper napkin is used in the kitchen to clean up small messes and keep your hands clean and dry from time to time. Use napkins when eating outdoors, in a restaurant, or at home. It can be placed in the bathroom and break room to dry your hands after washing them.
