That’s My Towel, the business venture of our potential future second lady, Karen Pence, garnered attention over the weekend by outlets like Jezebel and Fortune for its sheer absurdity and essential pointlessness.

The $6.25-a-pop charms promise to settle the pandemonium amongst beach-goers who are the victims of owning similar looking towels. The charms, as Jezebel’s Ellie Shechet so poignantly points out, solve “a number of problems that do not exist, or problems so insignificant that they might as well not exist.”

Mrs. Pence:
“Most of us have matching bath and beach towels, so it is easy to get them confused,” Karen Pence claims on the company’s website. “Lo and behold, I would go in the water for a dip or up to the house for a beverage, and when I came back to my towel, it was gone!”

(Don't you just want to scream when that happens?)

But the website and its 33-person (Sarah Palin is one of the 33)-followed Twitter account have, since news of the business broke,been made inactive, leaving just a cryptic “Thank you for your interest in Towel Charms.

The business is currently on hold” message in its wake.

It’s a tragedy for those five families who actually have a towel mix-up issue in their homes, and also for those of us who might have wanted to buy a few as collectors items.
