Man sized tissues?
Yes, they're bigger than 'normal' ones, but 'man sized'? what's wrong with 'jumbo' or 'Super sized'
Just a name, or an opportunity for sexism when we are too weak from colds/flu to take any notice?

My thoughts: I've always laughed when I see the mansize tissues in the supermarket. Why are they called what their called anyway ? I'm sure 'large' or 'jumbo' would be okay. Do men see them and feel proud that there are tissues just for them. Or perhaps is it for people with big noses, then does that mean that women cannot have big noses as their are no 'womensize' tissues. Why not 'child size' tissues that are tiny. Its just soo silly. Next we will have 'mansize' drinks at McDonalds. Geeez.
