Tissues on a Roll
This happens regularly.
You have a cold.
It spreads in the house.
Others have colds. Runny noses. Sneezing happens frequently.
Tissue quickly get used up. The boxes and packets run empty.
Everyone is too sick and can't be bothered dealing with shopping for rectangular tissue boxes amidst the crisis.
So what is the solution everyone, especially men, go for?
Toilet Paper of course. Not the rough stuff - the nice soft three ply. It doesn't have aloe on it, or any of the other crap. It doesn't slowly and annoyingly come out one fragment at a time. It is just in a big convenient cylindrical roll. There is heaps of it, and it can sit quite comfortably on the couch with you (unlike the sharp corners of a rectangular box).
Tissues in roll format is really the way to go. Why is it in a box? That isn't helping anyone. Think about it.
Probably occurred due to product differentiation. Tissues for faces doesn't want to cobrand with paper for assholes. But you know what, it bloody works the same* and we all go to it anyway.
Go the tissue roll. There is no stigma around how much paper you take, it is soft, it is easier, it happens anyway.
One for a marketing genius to work out. When you see a weeping woman on some NetflixChicago crime drama reach for tissues to wipe her eyes - dispensed from a Westy branded cylindrical tissue roll - you'll know I've made it (even more so).
In fact I'm going to do some product design.
*According to the website below there is a slight different between the paper - in tissues there is a binder to keep it falling apart. But that is probably just bollocks and not needed. The binder probably causes cancer and or is made from baby seals and or has resulted in an additional 15% of the amazon being destroyed.

**Added bonus - you can flush it down the toilet. Not supposed to do that with the aloe branded crap.
