For those of us who aren’t British, what’s a wet-wipe? And why are these associated with the fat berg? My guess is that the British expression “wet wipe” refers to what an American would call a “paper towel,” and that the association comes from people wiping up fat spills with paper towels, thus rendering them hydrophobic and oleophilic. But if a wet-wipe is the same thing as an American wet-wipe, i.e. a pre-moistened paper cleansing pad, what’s the story?
