Which paper towel is the most absorbent?

What I will need-


Paper towels (Viva, Coles, Handee)
600 ml of water.(200mL for each paper towel)
1L Measuring Jug
Aim-
To see which paper towel (Viva, Coles-Brand or Handee), absorbs the most water.
Method
I am going to get 200ml in a dish, and test the first paper towel. There will be three trials and an
average. I will then empty the dish into a measuring container, take the amount in there away
from 200, and the answer will be the absorbency. .I will repeat with each brand.
The most absorbent paper towel would mean that it took in the most water from the dish.
Does the brand of paper towel affect the amount of water it absorbs.
Does the amount of money you pay for the paper towel affect the absorbency?
PRICES(per 100 sheets)
Viva- $3.20
Handee- $2.17
Coles- $2.25
CLAIMS
Handee- Ultra-Absorbent
Viva-The best absorber and strongest when wet.

The Viva absorbed the most, and had the biggest claim to live up to. But, the Viva is $1 more
expensive than Handee and Coles. Since the Viva was the most absorbent than the others, I
cleaned up my mess with the Viva.
It was a fair test because I gave all of the paper towels 200mL of water each and didnt change
the amount at all.
