The "Q" in Q-tips® stands for quality and the word "tips" describes the cotton swab at the end of the stick... 1987 - Unilever, the company founded in 1885 in England as Lever Brothers by grocer William Hesketh Lever and his brother James, acquired Chesebrough-Pond's including Q-tips® cotton swabs...
