Tissue Carton with Lights

Abstract

An oval tissue carton is provided with a battery and sound-activated lights, such that upon withdrawal of tissues from the carton, the lights are activated for a short period of time. The lights can blink on and off several times before shutting off until the next tissue is withdrawn. Such cartons are particularly desirable for Holiday occasions.
