    The Kimberley-Clarke's product 'Kleenex tissues' were not originally conceived as 'paper hankies' - what was their original purpose before they were redeveloped into tissues?

    Aaaagh! I know the singer who played the part and who it's modelled on but I don't know the character's name. And I doubt it will come to me either.

    No, no and no. They were first marketed as facial tissues but their origins go back to the 1st world war when the original material was developed for a specific purpose.

    No, good idea but not quite on the mark. By the way did you ever wonder why cartridge paper is so called?

    Ah it's probably something simple like toilet paper. Easier to have a pocket size packet shoved in you pocket than a full roll of toilet paper.
