Kleenex Battle The Bug Campaign With Giveaway

| Sun 10-11-09

kleenex antiviral box thumbs up

Back in August I blogged about our family trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. We had fun seeing all of the animals. We even saw a big blue bug – the Kleenex Battle The Bug car.

The Kleenex “Battle The Bug” program was established to bring attention to the importance of cleanliness and reducing germs to help prevent the spread of germs, sickness and the flu. Kleenex introduced Anti-Viral Tissues as one way to actively “battle the bug”. With more than one billion colds and 25–50 million flu cases reported in the US every year you can surely see how important it is that we do whatever we can to educate our families and to try to help prevent the spread of germs within them. Colds and flu do more than affect our family’s health. With parents missing an estimated 125 million workdays to stay home with a sick child they also affect our budgets.

Have you seen this video? It’s funny but makes you think.

These Kleenex tissues have a  blue dotted middle layer containing active ingredients that kill 99.9% of cold and flu viruses. Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissues are available nationwide at leading grocery, drug, club and mass merchandising stores.

If you visit the Kleenex Battle The Bug site you’ll find lots of helpful information on how to fight germs. You’ll even find some games for the kids to play, to help involve them and make them aware of the importance of fighting the spread of germs.

WIN IT!

One winner will receive a $50 Visa Gift Card and Kleenex Anti-Viral product.
