Well, i had to use one today, and was just wondering about it. I say "kleenex".

Tissue. Kleenex is a brand name, silly.

 

[damocles]

same as 'sticky tape' vs sellotape

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Kleenex, Band-Aid, Q-Tip. I guess they have good marketing

 

[Dee67]

Kleenex here too!

Brought up in a house where it was the brand of choice and was what the folks called it.

Even though I use Puffs plus now, I still call 'em Kleenex

 

[AlphaIVT]

yeah, amazing how these companies can plant their product name as a generic term.

Saying kleenex is old school. My Grandmother says that. Besides, they suck. They hurt when you wipe.
