Company Selling Used Tissues for $79.99 to Fight Flu
Jan 28, 2019
You might have heard about a lot of treatments to cure severe health problems, but have you ever seen people buying used tissues for treatment? A new startup company in Los Angeles has started a bizarre way to fight flu named Vaev Tissue priced at $79.99 (Rs 5696.69). You will be shocked to know that it went out of stock too.
As per the company’s information the product is engineered in such a way that it first allows a person to get sick on “their own terms” and then prevent oneself from the disease, similar to how vaccinations work.
Oliver Niessen,the founder of the company, said “The simple idea is you choose now to get sick, with the idea in mind that you won’t get sick with that same cold … later.”
After hearing and reading about this idea many people found it disgusting while some took interest in knowing more about it. Check out the people’s mixed reactions below:
Vaev who do you think you are? $80 for used tissues that I have to stuff up my nose so I don’t get sick. Smh ??????????? I’ll stick with brand new Kleenex. ???? #GoodDayDC

Wanna prepare for Flu season? Now you can buy used tissue and get sick when you want for $80, except that it's sold out. https://t.co/WSa7qnTFT0

Are you planning on developing a similar toilet paper product for the "stomach flu"?#shitonyourownterms

@VaevTissue Just heard about your product, and I'm curious. Can a used product be returned for a full refund, or does it double in value upon use? I imagine it's not like a pair of underwear, where once it's opened, it can't be returned for hygienic reasons.

"We believe that when flu season comes around, you should be able to get sick on your terms." LOL
