oh for goodness sake it is getting ridiculous .will the isle of mann be renamed isle of gender fluid .

[dannyk13]

As long as people and companies give in to ridiculous complaints it will never end.

[QuizmasterG]

Surely calling them "extra large" would be offensive to overweight people?
Seriously! the world is going crazy.
Half the world is starving, in a war zone, battered by natural disasters, etc etc. Why not expend all the anger and offense in tackling those first before getting your pants in a tangle over the name on a box!!

[Spicerack]

Sheet plan.

[Rockrose]

More fool Kleenex for changing the product after a small percentage of complaints.
They are who should be facing your ire not having the backbone to stand up for their product.

//gender fluid //?????

Isn't that the stuff that "mansized" tissues were designed for?

[ichkeria]

I’ll probably be in a minority of one but I think that’s sensible

[aelmpvw]

i've just checked my calendar and sadly it isn't april 1st

[Old_Geezer]

Probably ich.

[pixie374]

I suppose it was going to change sooner or later, but I'm surprised anyone was bothered enough to complain.

[Ric.ror]

Mally - I think you mean the Isle of Mxnn

[4candles]

In answer to the thread title - not any time soon.

[pixie374]

One of the insanest examples I've seen- I can't get a link to it, but Google "Lunapads". They sell female sanitary protection and refuse to use the word "woman" to the extent that they call us "bleeders".

[Spicerack]

Some of you are, pixie. ;)

[pixie374]

I'm sure :-)

[Prudie]

There will be no end because those making such marketing decisions are the young - same as those who will come on and defend it on here (or those who want to make out they're down with the young).

[rowanwitch]

Never understood why they were called man size anyway

[weecalf]

Not to be sneezed at these tissues ,well actually they are made to be sneezed at .Do you think there’s a room full of people thinking up these complaints .

[pixie374]

Because of man flu?

[rowanwitch]

Poor little diddums don't want nasty rough Kleenex,when they have man flu they want to use your nice soft balsam ones,
