If you took a box of Kleenex back to the medieval time period, they'd probably think that you're a witch

  I’m more intrigued as to why, out of all things you could pick to bring back to medieval times should you have the opportunity, why would you pick a Kleenex box

  Due to the super freaky time traveling probably. To be expected I guess.

  Why?

  People had less technology but where not less smart than today. If all, they where used to be smarted than us actually because they had less tech.

  Its just paper towels, that pull out one after the other with a stupid fold trick. Anybody even 600y ago would spot that after a brief looking at it.

  No, they would probably be curious about the paper itself, but that would be it.

  Or that it was a holy relic you’d brought back from the Crusades.

  It depends on place & time & audience. Most places weren’t into witches thing and educated people would recognize it as a new material not something magical.

  You would be considered a spy for appearing out of nowhere while not talking the language, probably.
