pause. wtf does that even mean? is he wiping his ass with fucking fabric? is he just regularly annihilating plumbing everywhere he shits or something? i don't understand.
Kinda misleading, Kleenex Velvet is the brand name and it's not sold in some countries so he has to travel with it
that's a brand name? wild
Kleenex is basically synonymous with tissue paper in the US but I've never heard of them selling toilet paper before. Cottenelle is the TP brand from Kimberly-Clark in the US.
Really? Over here (Aus) they're known for both. There is a Kleenex product for every orifice!
Apparently they own Kotex as well, so every orifice is truly accounted for.
Napkins and cotton swabs too? Here Kleenex is strictly for your nose (or nut). I think the tissues did so well that the idea of Kleenex for your butt is weird.
It's just toilet paper, which is probably made in the same factories as tissue paper, so Kleenex decided to cut out the middleman there. Not sure why they only do it in some places though. Maybe the US has too competitive of a toilet paper market?
No its a simple matter of branding. Kleenex is a brand owned by Kimberly Clark, which also owns the TP brand Cottonelle. No reason to compete against yourself unless you're trying to make another brand look good by comparison.
Theres also the fact that the Kleenex brand in the US is extremely closely tied to facial tissues that its basically synonymous. Making a Kleenex TP would dilute that reputation.
For us, tissue paper is the thin packing paper that comes with fancy chocolates or gifts. We call facial/jizzual tissues just 'tissues'
Yeah we do too, I'm just being weird there.
o7 all g
I know I was lowkey disappointed
Probably extra soft toilet paper kept away from us because if we knew there more than one kind of softness, we'd never stop killing for it
He's got a dude whose job it is to emboss the royal monogram on every square of what's otherwise just Charmin 2 ply.
They call him the ~~Lord of the Privy Chamber~~
Edit - Even better! A Groom of the Stool
