I hope you understand that Kleenex is a brand name. Not all tissues (a.k.a. snot rags, burger blankets) should be called Kleenex. In the U.S., "Kleenex" is often used to mean any facial tissue due to successful branding, a phenomenon called a genericized trademark. While "tissue" is the correct generic term, "Kleenex" is widely understood, similar to how people say "Xerox" for photocopy or "Band-Aid" for adhesive bandage, though in formal writing or other countries, "facial tissue" or "tissue" is preferred. Personally, I say tissue. But, that could be because I buy Puffs and not Kleenex brand.
Also, does anybody else ever have trouble getting that first tissue out of a new box? I always pull out 5 to start with. I can never get just one. Maybe it's because I am buying the Puffs brand and not Kleenex? So after that I always have a big wad of tissues that I just have to try and stuff into the box or lay on top.
Another thing I have noticed is when I have just a couple tissues left in a box, I typically will grab a new box. I put the remaining few tissues on top of the new box and recycle the old box. But then those last extra few tissues from that box last forever! It's like I never need tissues again once I want to use them up so it doesn't look messy. Maybe I should do this when I have a cold and the cold will go away! Anyone else feel my pain, or am I crazy?
