Towel in mass culture
Writer Douglas Adams in the science fiction novel “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” described the towel as an indispensable thing for the hitchhiker. Fans of his work began to celebrate the day towels and carry a towel with him that day.

The writer Mikhail Bulgakov has a story “Towel with a rooster”, in which the towel appears as a sign of gratitude, a valuable gift that cannot be refused.
