An American live streamer was broadcasting live when a Norwegian tourist approached him and began flirting. She suggested they have a relationship and even went so far as to say they would have perfect children together. The American was shocked when her husband appeared and he realized she was married.

The flat stripe on your towel is called a dobby border. It's the only part of the towel engineered to NOT absorb water.
The rest of the towel is terry cloth. 300 to 800 tiny cotton loops per square inch, each one pulling moisture off your skin through capillary action. A standard bath towel absorbs about 800ml of water per square meter in under 10 seconds. The loops do all of that work.
The dobby border has zero loops. It's a flat, dense weave that serves one purpose: structural integrity. Without it, the constant agitation of a washing machine would cause the terry loops at the edges to unravel. The border anchors the fabric so the loops stay intact.
It also solves a shrinkage problem. Terry loops shrink at different rates than the ground weave underneath them. The dobby border is dimensionally stable, so it prevents the ends from puckering or warping after dozens of hot wash cycles.
Hotels figured this out decades ago. The flat surface takes embroidery and woven logos cleanly. A looped surface can't hold that detail. That's why every Marriott, Hilton, and Four Seasons towel has their branding woven directly into the border.
The dobby loom that makes this possible has existed since 1843. The mechanism controls individual warp threads independently, creating geometric patterns without needing a full Jacquard setup.
Three jobs at once: preventing fraying, controlling shrinkage, and giving hotels a place to brand their towels. The part that feels wrong is doing the most work.
