There's a toilet paper called PASEO, which still has 400 sheets per roll (4.1"/4") and a 12-pack of it is sold for 5 or 6 dollars, but only one store in New York sells it.

What annoys me the most is that the number of tissues has been downsized so much that it seems I'm always running out and have to go get a new box from the cupboard. I try to buy the brand with the most in the box, but always watching the price per sheet. It seems to me that it should cost less per unit to put more product in the box (i.e., don't downsize). Just look at the bulk product section of your supermarket. By the way, the same thing applies to toilet tissue. The old single roll of 400 sheets has been incrementally downsized to a roll of 200 with a much larger core. Now it's been reintroduced as a double roll with the smaller core again.

It is smaller. I am not very observant; thus I may not notice a change for a while but I finally notice this. Any smaller and a customer might need to go back to using handkerchieves, which some people may have done already.

They are also not as strong. I have switched to another brand. I noticed that they were smaller immediately. They are also not as strong. I have switched to another brand.

It seems that they have now lessened the amount of tissues in the box. Shame on them. There are other brands out there that are cheaper and just as good. This is the last time I buy Kleenex brand tissues. I'm getting tired of shrinking products and raising prices. I always respected the Kleenex brand tissue until now.
