And if you're in a restaurant everyone snickers at you.
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

How do you tell when a box of peach colored Kleenex is empty?
(I don't use Kleenex. I carry a handkerchief. #oldschool).

Good question. But I have not seen peach colored but white.

Ravi Bhavnani, using hankies and saving the environment!

And spreading disease ... with a disposable tissue, you throw away the bug ridden paper instead of carrying it around with you to infect others with.
But me? I use "proper" cotton hankies myself ... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yeah, I've always felt hankies are mainly for show. If you actually use them a few times, it's just a bacterial container.

And then you give it to your spouse to wash in the laundry. Yuck!

I do the laundry! And most of the cooking. She handles the important decisions: declaring war on other countries, repelling alien invasions, that sort of thing. We can't clutter her up with trivial implementation details!

Cash register tapes have been doing that for many years. But you're right, it seems that more things could benefit from that concept.
My vacuum cord has a yellow sticker and then a red sticker to indicate the end of it. It is retractable so it is there to warn you to not pull too hard.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Little things like these may not get noticed. But they do reflect manufacturers work hard on their products.

Changes colour to tell you it needs emptying.

I mean, I am not saying it goes peach after a week or two, but it definitely changes colour!

May help a person smoke less?

I don't think so.
You would only smoke less when finally running out of papers without being informed before.

Ah, two great minds, a single thought between them.

Yes, but I can't tell you in every detail what the owner of my local bar mixes into the beer to remind me that I should have another one.
And now you have reminded me to go and buy a fresh two pound roll of filament for the 3D printer after work.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
