Does Anyone Remember Colored Tissues & TP?

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 14:34:28 GMT

I was watching Forsenic Files about a woman who went missing decades ago. They found green tissues in the car of the man last seen with her. Everyone said she always carried green tissues.

I know, weird way to be reminded of something.

I remember having it at home as a kid and also during early years of marriage. I think it was discontinued in the early or mid 80s. Concerns about the dye used.

Did you ever have colored tissues & TP?

I didn't even know colored tissues were not available anymore.

Yes, I remember colored tissue and toilet paper. They would sell packets of different colored tissue paper to carry in your purse. It looked like a rainbow.

Yes, I remember Northern and Scott having colored bath tissue. I think Scott also had the tissues with the rainbow colors in them.

All the women in my family bought those when I was girl growing up to match the bathroom decor. TP and tissue's too. When I married I did not.

Yes, I do. The TP wrappers had assorted prints of beautiful young children. That probably wouldn't fly today.

Yes, definitely! I was a teenager in the 70's and loved that every time that I pulled another tissue out of the box, the color was different. Mom bought while toilet paper, but got me the colorful nose tissues (actually called facial tissue). I think it was Scott brand. This thread brought back the memory that I also enjoyed colorful loose leaf paper for school. Feels like a thousand years ago.

Of course, I remember! I don't really miss them. I really don't miss the 'scented' TP--that stuff made me itch so badly!

I also remember colored notebook paper--I miss that!!

When I think back to the house one of my Mom's sister and her husband built I am surprised we did not all get nauseous in that home with all the color. Aunt Pat's house was the first one in our family with two toned shag carpeting and it was a different color for every room. They had lots of rooms, including just a music room.

At least when Mom built ours the bedrooms all had the same color but the living area and dining room was different. But both homes had carpet in the kitchen. Yes it stained, uggggg.

Yes, my mother always had green TP and tissues for the green bathroom and yellow TP and tissues for the yellow bathroom. Especially when company was coming over!!

I liked the blue tissues and the beige, sometimes pink. Never cared about the toilet paper.

I do this now with print paper towels. I have my favorite design....it's a little thing that cheers me up for some strange reason. I can always use plain white but the print is what I choose.

Yes. I wish they would bring it back.

I think it's still sold on Amazon. And it's sold in the U.K.

We built a house in the 70's. One of the bathroom was blue with blue fixtures and I used blue toilet paper there. Another bathroom wallpapered with yellow and white small floral wallpaper and used yellow toilet paper in there. Now its strictly white non-scented toilet paper.

Anyone over forty five probably had colored tissue or TP. The colored stuff started to disappear in the 80's. Prior to that, it was everywhere. Pink, yellow and blue were very common. You bought it to match your bathroom.

My mom used to buy the colors. I believe there were also little floral prints, which she also used.

Northern used to have colored flowers on the white background. I liked that better than the solid colors.

Our single bathroom had black tile, pink floral wallpaper, pink tissues and tp. I do not remember floral tp. I had those Northern prints someone mentioned.
