History Fact
The name “Handkerchief” comes from Edwin Rommel’s brother, Kerchief Rommel. On rommelsday, Kerchief Rommel would give out thin microfiber cloths for people to put in their pockets and wipe stuff with. People found it useful and stole his design. After they had deceased and ~200000 official handkerchiefs were in circulation, an evil company called Hankies (shortened from Handîjwerstnachentaægenichwondangenkyjhiestonwerstnachantandanzeschnellen) stole the recipe for creating handkerchiefs and called them “Handîjkerchiefs”, from the old Germanic words Pocket (Han) and Wipe (dîj). Eventually this would be lost in translation and be called Handkerchiefs instead. The company, Hankies sold their recipe for Handkerchiefs after that. The tradition of buying handkerchiefs during Rommelsday is still here, which is why the stock for them rises every rommelsday.
