Kleenex

Its another day in the arlington office. I'm actually here by myself this whole week running the conference. Its not a big deal, but I don't feel good and this cold isn't really my favorite thing right now. I could really just be happy taking a nap. Unfortunatly, I was up at the not so sunny hour of 5:20am this morning. I got here about 40 minutes early and therefore am upset that I could have had those 40 minutes sleeping. Anyways, I digress, I am going through kleenex a lot. The sniffles are not fun. I am going to be glad for this to be done with.

• The name Kleenex is a registered trademark registered by Kimberly-Clark Worldwide
• The material from which Kleenex is made was originally called "Cellucotton" designed during WWI. It was used in gas masks instead of cotton, since cotton was in high demand as a surgical dressing.
• The first facial tissues for public purchase were use for originally marketed them as a way to remove cold cream or makeup remover.
• In the 1930s kleenex was marketed as a disposible handkercheif with the slogan "don't keep a cold in your pocket"
