For those who cry easily reading soppy novels or who are unhappily weeping over a breakup, this [Kleenex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kleenex-branding)-dispensing pillow will provide the ultimate convenience in sniffle-stifling. No more groping for that tissue box that probably fell off the bedside table anyway.

Alternatively, the ThenCry pillow could be useful during the coming flu season when you're already sick in bed and can barely rise to get that tissue box.

**Implications** - Quirky products continue to grow in popularity as they are perceived as unique. Products like this pillow allow people to indulge in products that will set them apart from the products that their friends and other acquaintances already posses.
