●Optimistic Quote or Did You Know?
- This is one of the cool everyday things actually designed for World War I. Kimberly-Clark developed a thin, flat crepe paper to be used as a filter in gas masks during the war. Afterward, in 1924, the company redeveloped the material to be smoother and softer, and rebranded it as Kleenex, a facial tissue to help remove cold cream. People found another use for them—to blow into when sneezing—and in the 1930s, the brand positioned the product as the handkerchief you can throw away!
