Kleenex, the brand that became the generic term for facial tissues, is pulling out of Canada.

I have no brand loyalty when it comes to facial tissue. I buy whatever is on sale or cheaper when I'm at the store. Lol I won't even notice them missing.

That's exactly why they're leaving the market, the average Canadian just picks whatever brand is cheaper.

As long as it's not the brown paper towel from gradeschool, I'm fine with it. Lol

So stagnant wages and insane cost of living is why we can't have middle of the road brand names.
