Kleenex tissues were originally developed for gas masks. During World War I, with cotton in short supply, Kimberly-Clark created a thin, flat material to serve as a filter for gas masks. After the war ended before the material was fully perfected, the company reworked it into a softer version \u2014 and Kleenex facial tissues were born. #KleenexHistory #WWIFacts #FunFact #InventionStory #FromWartimeToEveryday #UnexpectedOrigins #HistoryIsWeird #TissueTrivia #KimberlyClark #DidYouKnow
