I got this beach towel when I was like 11 (in Tampa, no less) - I still have it. I've been contemplating burning it or throwing it away, but damn if it's not a good towel...I use it regularly as a traditional towel. It's held up really well - probably the best towel I have right now. On one hand, I despise all that it stands for, but on the other hand, it's a really good and durable towel...
Just think about it as if you are wiping your dick with a Confederate flag. No need to get rid of a good and durable towel.
