No, I was being a lot picky. As per tissue on a roll, I couldn't think of a better way to describe it here. That was a describer not what it is called.
Now I can't think of the last time someone asked me for a Kleenex. We just gave the sniffley person the box of whatever was on sale when we bought it.
