From a few days ago, didn’t see it till now
What
Toilet paper is significantly cheaper, works just as well, and breaks down better if it ends up in water.
It makes sense that there is less money in facial tissues, they don’t really serve a purpose.
I for one cannot stand using Kleenex. Toilet paper ftw. Kleenex is like sliding slime all over your nose.
I feel like when I’m really sick and my nose has already been ripped to shreds, it can be pretty nice.
Although I haven’t bought it in a while
Try a handkerchief. It’s life-changing when you’re sick: no more raw nose!
Then you have a soggy snot rag.
When I’m sick a handkerchief would get unbearably disgusting in like 3 blows.
Then you put it in the wash and grab another. I have four I cycle through.
My nose builds up callus after a while lol.
In my family we use them as napkins to wipe hands and face
In my experience, I’ve used Royale more than Kleenex. Interesting to know it’s a trademark now owned by the family of companies that basically owns New Brunswick.
What are vings?
Oh, it’s the best part to fuck!
It’s the mysterious device the Irving family uses to control New Brunswick.
Oh he’s a half-elf druid.
Is that a reference to the Spout Lore podcast?
Vyng van Zumba (sp?) is a half-elf druid.
He comes from a long line of elfs, not those silly made-up elves
No you’re thinking of Grimsby. Hee hee!

Everyone can agree when I say fuck the Irvings with a rake.

Don’t they get all their damn lumber from Canada?
Edit: looks like they stopped doing that in 2011.A Canadian co bought a lumber mill in my area. Heard they pay better too.
sperm and nonsense
They’re not pulling out, they’re just removing the brand from the Canadian market… which makes sense, because Kleenex lost its trade mark protection in Canada. So they’re using the Scotties trade name instead (same company).

That’s not true.
They don’t own Scotties.
Oh ok, found this other article that had more details but it suggests Scotties is a different brand?

I don’t know who the ultimate parent company of Kimberly Clark is, but iirc, Scott products are manufactured by Koch industries.
Scotties is owned by Kruger Paper in Canada, not Kimberly-Clark.
