Tissues What Is Going On

[in a mo]

I always buy the same make of Tissues "Kle$$ex" have done for many years ,Imagine my shock when I blew my nose and the contents went straight through,I looked at the box same name ,difference being instead of 3 ply they are now 2 ply also there is a totally different feel ,I did notice this when my wife bought the new compact size I suppose I should have realised something must have changed to be able to get so many into such a small space. Any Thoughts

I've never heard of that brand...perhaps you should stay with Kleenex?

[Clanad]

Gee... thanks for sharing that... I'm gonna have the image of "... I blew my nose and the contents went straight through" all day... you did wash your hands didn't you?

[andy-hughes]

Good grief! Does your nose double as a Howitzer???

The walls of Jericho could've been knocked down by just one blow of your hooter Mo.

Most manufacturers of most things are paring their costs to the bone to keep prices down and the result is falling quality and/or quantity.

I bought some sheets the other day, same make as I've always had (and been happy with). One wash and they were just like tissue paper (probably about as strong as your Kle$$ex). Useless. Tins of tuna have become so small that it's at the point where one is not enough for a couple of decent sandwiches. Tins of Quality Street are now about half the size they used to be and many of the varieties have disappeared.

All this may keep inflation down but personally I'd sooner suffer a bit of inflation and have the goods that are of decent quality and sufficient quantity.

You've hit the nail on the head and answered your own question in a mo - 2 ply instead of 3 ply were bought.

Go back to the 3 ply and harmony will be regained.

Yes I would wager that the 2-ply variety is now the same price as the 3-ply used to be not so long ago.

[Mamyalynne]

Based simplyon the Tesco page

Kleenex 3 ply - price = £1.95p per 100 sheets
Kleenex 2 ply - price = £1.50p per 100 sheets


You have to read the prices to be a canny shopper.

I noticed that Quality Street were half the size. They're not in tins either, which are useful later, but in plastic boxes.

whatever happened to the red quality street swerts? Cracknell they were called and they were lush
