I just noticed recently that when a box of Kleenex is near empty, the color of tissue changes to peach to remind users that it is time to buy a new box. What a smart idea. Do you know any other examples like this?

When the bottle of ketchup is almost empty, it makes a 'squirty' sound with a lot of air.

By design?

I've noticed it also tends to be a lot messier and go everywhere you don't want it to go.

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 ...

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!

Cotton with silver threads.

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.

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

Like a hard drive that gives the "imminent failure" warning.

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!
