Kleenex comes clean

When something smelled fishy regarding the naming of “Mansize” tissues, Kleenex was quick to come clean.

The company renamed these tissues “Kleenex Extra Large” in order to avoid further accusations of being “sexist.”  The packaging still brands them as “confidently strong” yet

“comfortingly soft.”

In the old days, a gentleman might ask, “May I have a tissue?” - and a lady might reply, “Tissue, I don’t even know you!”  Times have surely changed, and now repartee such as this carries extra-large weight in certain circles.
