Mon 4 July 2005 - Recycled tissues vanish

Recycled tissue boxIt would seem that my favourite brand of tissue — the only recycled ones on sale — has disappeared from the supermarket shelves — both Coles and Safeway. I do switch to the softer Kleenex’s (non-recycled) aloe-vera and eucalyptus tissues at times of extreme snottiness, but for daily use the recycled tissues are pretty good.

So I rang up the company to ask about it. They sounded surprised, and said they’d have someone look into it. No reply yet.

I generally have three or four boxes of tissues on the go at once, distributed at strategic locations around the house, so it might be a while until I run out. Hopefully they’ll turn up again before then.

The same company makes recycled napkins, which (so far) are still in plentiful supply.
