Unbelievable! Used tissues being sold for Rs 5,700!
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,January 24 2019]
Recently, an e-commerce giant was seen selling coconut shell for upwards of Rs 1,000. If you found it quite outrageous, here is something disgusting for you. An American company is reportedly selling used tissues (yes, used tissues) for USD 80 (or Rs 5,700). What the hell, you might want to ask.
The sellers have a very strange logic. The used tissue comes with a sneeze. So, it's infected with virus. The user gets infected by the virus once he or she uses the tissue. This way, the customer has the weird luxury of choosing when to get cold instead of cold choosing when to attack him or her.
These tissues come treated with organic ingredients, the company's website says.
Medically, however, this doesn't make any sense, considering that there are 200 varieties of rhinoviruses. Also, willfully propagating and disseminating a virus or disease could land the seller in court.
