Growing up in Canada we did not refer to tissues as tissues. We called them Kleenex. It’s one of those weird Canadian-isms.

    It’s more like if someone asks if you want a soda, they would instead ask if you want a Coke. You would then ask what kind they have. If you want a specific type at a restaurant, you would just say the kind you wanted.
