Sure, we in the media like to focus on the people who punch each other over televisions at Walmart stores during the weekend after Thanksgiving. While the mega-retailer sold millions of TV sets this weekend, that wasn’t their top seller. What item did they move the most of over the long weekend? Towels.

Well, okay, to be fair, the frenzies over towels have become a tradition too. That’s because they cost only $1.74, and a 29-cent washcloth was also a huge hit on Black Friday. At that price, you could just buy washcloths and throw them away instead of washing them.

Here’s a towel frenzy from last year:

Wally World announced their towel tally in a press release. They also sold 2 million televisions, 1.4 million tablets, and 1.9 million dolls. Walmart did not specify how many towels, TVs, tablets, or dolls they sell on a normal weekend.
