Growing up in Canada we did not refer to tissues as tissues. We called them Kleenex. It's one of those weird Canadian-isms.

Well shit. This is a problem for me, since the Kleenex brand is the only one with a lotioned variety that stores in my neck of the woods seem to carry. My seasonal allergies get so bad that normal/un-lotioned tissues leave my nose rubbed raw, even if I'm medicated.

Thanks to the N7 logo next to your name, I read this comment in Commander Shepard's voice. "Kleenex brand - now with LOTION! - is the only tissue on the Citadel that I'll trust my nose to!"
