The Tissue Box: An Engineering Autopsy

Jared takes apart several tissue boxes and examines how they are designed. He then challenges us to make our own design and test it!

We watch you at school and we all love ur vids 💗

[@sliipegs3441]

O my gosh that is for the pin ❤️

[@wafiharowa]

This is simple yet highly educating. Definitely a good material for a science class

[@alanlin7239]

THIS IS AMAZING!!! I almost ruined my tissue box XD Thanks for saving my tissue box and tickle my curiosity!

[@blueblousedesigns]

Make a tissue box cover out of plastic canvas and a removable bottom to go inside the cover, and you have a pretty reusable tissue box

[@joel6427]

I'm actually a guy who was looking for this explanation because I noticed when the tissue quantity goes below a certain point, they fall back into the box instead of being pulled up by the tissue being pulled. I think the problem is the distance of lift is longer when the box is nearing empty, plus if the slot is widened by reaching into the box to get a tissue, there is insufficient friction to hold the next tissue. I bet I'm not the only person mildly annoyed by this.

Great video explanation. Thank you

Thank you for answering my question!

I was about to cut my tissue box and look into it hot id works.
You saved my tissue box.

[@ClearHeatVision]

Great video

[@captainmandarin8309]

Would you plz tell me how you made it inside the smaller box? Thx a lot!

[@lilapela]

I actually searched this on google after playing with a tissue box since i was curious how they work

[@Sunshine-yv6di]

How did you cut the can?

[@raskhuele]

Please please please tell us why do the boxes also have an opening on the bottom? What is it for? Why all boxes can be opened also from the bottom? I cannot sleep thinking about this. Please help!

[@drbm1972]

So cool

Great video keep it up ✓

Imagine being the janitor and finding all the tissues thrown away in the trash can😔

[@angelad7164]

Hello jarad
Wow thanks 4 showing us this vlog about how to fold tissue s 2 put into the box
I think its amazing
Please can u tell me how is the tissue s r folded in a cube shape box as they look different
Thanks again 4 this great vlog
Now im going to like ur vlog

[@ganeshs1360]

very nice

[@Vep-qx6dv]

I didn't expect that at all, it's so interesting like+sub!

[@anoniem012]

Finally I know how it works.

[@jonnypridgen5728]

I would like to know how to remove the first (1) (one) facial tissue from a new box of tissues. IS IT POSSIBLE?

thankyou for your support!

[@TedwardsTube]

My question is, what brand or product names are folded so that the next tissue comes up to replace it? I have a decorative (standard rectangular tissue box size) tissue box enclosure (which looks like a tiki face, where the tissues dispense from the nose), which I think is cute and I’d like to use, but I’ve bought tissues repeatedly which do not work with it because the next tissue never comes up replacing the one I grabbed.

[@ailingchow3624]

Kleenex. Or anyone except Puffs. Puffs does not have the accordion fold.

[@noshinmirza4250]

now i can die peacefully 😂 I always used to think how they work.. bt I got my answers today 👍

[@hayel2015]

Big like 👍 👍 👍

[@32doors]

What is the name of the side-opening tissue box?
I can’t seem to find them anymore, no matter where I look!

[@kaitlinoconnor2102]

I don’t know what that box design is called or if you’re still looking for them 10 months later, but the Puffs rectangular boxes on Amazon seem to have that design where it’s a big opening rather than popping up through plastic (at least based on the ones I’ve ordered in the past and how they look in the pictures currently).

[@32doors]

@@kaitlinoconnor2102 Thank you SO much for letting me know, I’ve been trying to find that style of box again for YEARS! I’m about to order some Puffs now!

[@kaitlinoconnor2102]

@@32doors I'm happy to hear the info was useful! Glad I could help 😊

You know its serious when the first font you see is jokerman

[@analiahedley6487]

I know how they work so why am I still watching this!?

[@dennisstrong8978]

unhappily the engineering that has tissues pop out as one is pulled no longer works. In fact every box I have opened lately has tissues fall back in the box instead of working as they used to work. I assume it's because they are probably made in China and the engineering doesn't work well there.

[@zaq8947]

HEY JARED!

[@zaq8947]

I watched one of your videos today

[@zaq8947]

In school

[@donlibes]

The "stand up" design isn't reliable. Besides tearing the first couple of tissues, the tissues sometimes drop down so I have to go fishing around for the next tissue. I'd love to return to the old "reach in" design. The only manufacturer I've found that still offers it is Puff's but I have to pay a premium price - about 250% at my local supermarket for Puffs which isn't worth it. So I give in to wasting some tissues in every box to satisfy the marketing department of big Tissue.
