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.

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).

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.

They don’t own Scotties.

So they’re using the Scotties trade name instead (same company).

That’s not true.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Consumer facial tissue brand Kleenex will soon be no more in Canada, as the company that makes the iconic product  has decided to exit a major part of its business in this country.

“We have been operating in a highly constrained supply environment, and despite our best efforts we have been faced with some unique complexities on the Kleenex business,” said Todd Fisher, Kimberly-Clark’s Canadian vice-president and general manager, in an emailed statement.

“While this is breaking news to the financial community, we confirmed through our channel checks that industry players have been aware of the impending exit for a few months now, as [Kimberly-Clark’s] customers have been making inquiries to secure replacement supply,” he said in a note to clients.

“There were rumours recently that they they were thinking of exiting the market so we just wanted to make sure that we were ready to service more demand in Canada, which we are,” said Michel Manseau, Kruger’s vice-president, in an interview with CBC News.

“We have eight plants in Canada and one in the U.S.,” he said, noting the company just spent $1 billion in Quebec to build two facilities and are planning to launch a new line of facial tissues “that is starting up at the beginning of 2024 — so our timing is good.”

The move makes Kleenex just the latest in a long line of well-known consumer products to pull out of Canada in one form or another in recent years, including Bugles snack chips, Skippy peanut butter and Delissio frozen pizza.

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?

It’s the mysterious device the Irving family uses to control New Brunswick.

Oh, it’s the best part to fuck!

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!

Don’t they get all their damn lumber from Canada?
Edit: looks like they stopped doing that in 2011.
