Dear All

Hello

Kleenex is scrapping "Mansize "tissues branding from its tissue boxes after 60 years on the shelves.

Apprarently "some customers" called it sexist.

The company said the tissues would now be called "Extra Large".

One customer questioned the firm after her four-year-old son asked
if "girls, boys and mummies" can use them.

Kleenex told shoppers to "keep an eye out" for the new branding, saying some of its new larger boxes are already on sale.

The mind boggles!

Now, I am all for equality but this is ridiculous!

Take gentle care
Love Elizabeth, EOS
