New Kleenex Original slim tissue boxes

Kleenex have recently shrunk the size of their Original tissue boxes to 33% of the normal size.

The boxes contain the same amount of tissues.

Have others found that the first few tissues just rip when pulling them out - due to the fact the tissues are highly compressed inside the box?

Also, when you pull a tissue out, it doesn't always seem to feed the next tissue through the slot automatically.

I have been buying the older larger boxes from discount stores!

    The new boxes rattle around in tissue box covers designed for the old boxes too. Very annoying.

    What if you put another half-size box below it? Does that make it the same height as a full size box?
