Yep. That’s mine. And yep, that’s T-mobile you see up there in the carrier area. As a colleague of mine said today “Well, enjoy it for the week or so before they figure out how to lock your shit down.” Until then, I’m loving this thing.

Tissues are important. Our nose is a veritable nozzle for all sorts of strange stuff, and you’ve got to put it somewhere. I’d easily consider them my 4th favorite paper product ( right behind 1. toilet paper, 2. paper towels, 3. Origami paper), and by god if I haven’t gotten stuck with some shitty tissue boxes in my day. That’s why when I saw these suckers at the store the other day I had to pick up a box. Mainly because they were one of the three types without god awful looking flowers on them. By the way, if you’ve been to the UK, they have “Tissues for Men” which are about twice the size, an extra ply, and have boxes that have been “designed with the man in mind.” Figure out what that means.
Back to the point–this box looks serious. Like medicine serious. They’re so serious they need a super hero/anemic child with no eyes to smell them in the advertisements (seen on the right). The outside of the box features what looks like guitar picks (actually Vicks logo silhouettes), adorning a cool aqua-marine swoosh that wraps around the entire thing. This is far more impressive and visually neutral compared to some of those flower boxes, and by god I needed to buy one.
Unfortunately a) they smell like cough syrup and b) I bought two boxes.
The problem is these things are meant to be therapeutic, but as a side effect, the 3-foot radius around the box smells like cough syrup. Even worse, using the things makes your hands smell like cough medicine until you wash them (which theoretically you should be doing quite often if you’re actually sick) .
Dammit.
This has been making the rounds around the office today. I’m sad to say I recognized about all these references short of about five or so. That makes abundantly is clear I need to get out more.

So if you thought the last one was insane. This one is insaner.

Again, another video that’s awesome, but requires you to skip ahead about three minutes to get to the money shot.
