Puffs is a brand of facial tissue manufactured by Procter & Gamble. Introduced in 1960, it is among the leading national brands of facial tissue in the United States. It is best known for its slogan, "a nose in need deserves Puffs indeed", which is voiced over by actor Tony Clarkin.
There are currently four types of Puffs: Puffs Basic, Puffs Ultra, Puffs Plus with a scent of Vicks, and Puffs Plus with a Touch of Shea Butter.
[edit] Puffs and the industry
There are currently five kinds of Puffs facial tissue: Puffs, Puffs Plus, Puffs Ultra, Puffs Plus with Vicks, and Puffs Travel. New for 2008, an industry first, Procter and Gamble have begun allowing consumers to create their own box designs and have the boxes shipped to them, allowing people to give one of a kind gifts. Puffs is made exclusively at the P&G Paper Products Co. in Green Bay, WI. In 2008, Puffs Plus with a touch of shea butter was launched, preceded by Puffs Plus with the scent of Vicks, launched in 2007.
Puffs' mascots are the Puffs Pals, computer animated children who get "sorenositis" until handed a Puffs Plus tissue or whose noses literally run until given a Puffs Ultra tissue. They include Tom, Sam, Stan, Karen, Winnie, Oliver, Daisy, Peter, Jenny, Scott, Rudy, Rhonda, Owen and Myron. Each commercial is told in rhyme to go with the slogan. Then after the slogan, a different tissue is mentioned, usually Puffs Plus, Puffs Ultra, or Puffs Plus with the scent of Vicks.
