    I especially like the part about “3 layers thick — they’re almost huge!” Makes me wonder if perhaps they’re suggesting some use other than blowing one’s manly nose.

    At least the new “manly” tissues don’t look ridiculous, unlike the “manly” 1964 box that is clearly overcompensating for something (“There is a gun on my box! SEE, it’s MANLY!”)… or maybe men are supposed to have boogers as dangerous as bullets and therefore need three-ply tissues?
