Thanks Jake!
There are many possible answers.
I thought it was money!
Good one!
Good one!
This teaser is not very good because there are at least a hundred things that could be the answer- cups, cars, pants, coats, shoes, empty toothpaste tubes, socks with holes, etc. It should be a couple sentences longer and more precise.
No offense, Spuds. I know you've had other great teasers.

I won it in the teaser without answers forum from Jake so I didn't want to mess up anything so I copied the exact thing.Thanks I got one that should be accepted soon hopefully it is much better cause I lost my award
I still can't believe the editors let this one in. too many possibilities
I'm glad they did though!
Who's Jake and how can teasers be won, especially such a vague one like this? A sheet of toilet paper or a dozen more answers could fit as well.
Jake is the website creator and if you provide the correct answer for the riddle he posts in the Teasers Without Answers forum then you get to submit it as yours and I won it so I got to submit it.
I strongly disagree with the answer, I think paper towel is best, because when shoes first came out, you didn't throw them away.
Your'e suposed to buy a real expensive one and then repair them
