Do you know why people say "God bless you!" when you sneeze? It's a custom that dates back to a little Polynesian island called Panoi-Panoi. (which means "Isle of Repetition") The people of this tropical paradise believed that sneezes angered the gods. Mere superstition? Perhaps. But one day, a cargo ship carrying 26 tons of freshly ground pepper crashed into the island. This created such a sneezing fit among the islanders, that it awakened a long-dormant volcano. The entire Panoi-Panoi culture was destroyed, and now the island is a Club Med. To memorialize the lost people of Panoi-Panoi, we bring you this Tiki God Tissue Box Holder. Unlike other tissue boxes, this one stands up vertically. And as you can see, the tissues are dispensed through the Tiki's nostrils. If this isn't a touching tribute to a once great people, what is? The Tiki Tissue Box Holder is really well made from polyresin, and fits any standard-sized tissue box. It's decorative, it's fun, and your guests will love yanking tissues out of its nose. But should you sneeze in its presence, be afraid... be very afraid.
