substrate, each dryer sheet having at least a first portion, a second portion, and a frangible boundary between the first portion and the second portion, and each of the first portion and the second portion having at least about 0.35 grams of a fabric conditioning active composition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A dryer-activated product comprising a plurality of discrete dryer sheets, said dryer sheets comprising a non-woven fibrous substrate, each said dryer sheet having at least a first portion, a second portion, and a frangible boundary between said first portion and said second portion, wherein each of said first portion and said second portion comprises at least about 0.35 grams of a fabric conditioning active composition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The dryer-activated product of claim 1, wherein said frangible boundary comprises a plurality of perforations. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The dryer-activated product of claim 2, wherein each of said first portion and said second portion comprises at least about 0.013 grams of a perfume. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The dryer-activated product of claim 3, wherein each of said first portion and said second portion comprises at least about 0.01 grams of an unencapsulated perfume. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The dryer-activated product of claim 2, wherein each said dryer sheet is folded along a first fold line to have a c-fold. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The dryer-activated product of claim 5, wherein each of said first portion and said second portion comprises at least about 0.013 grams of a perfume. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The dryer-activated product of claim 6, wherein each said dryer sheet is folded along a second fold line substantially parallel to said first fold line to have a z-fold. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The dryer-activated product of claim 5, wherein each said dryer sheet is folded along a third fold line substantially perpendicular to said first fold line. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The dryer-activated product of claim 7, wherein each said dryer sheet is folded along a third fold line substantially perpendicular to said first fold line. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The dryer-activated product of claim 9, wherein each said dryer sheet is substantially rectangularly shaped. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The dryer-activated product of claim 10, wherein said dryer sheet has an axis and wherein said dryer sheet comprises two opposing long edges substantially parallel to and on opposing sides of said axis defining a width there between and two opposing short edges substantially orthogonal to said axis defining a length there between, wherein said frangible boundary is along said axis substantially parallel to said long edges. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The dryer-activated product of claim 11, wherein said plurality of discrete dryer sheets are in a stack. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The dryer-activated product of claim 12, wherein said plurality of discrete dryer sheets are in a stack within the interior of a carton. ### Claim 14 A dryer-activated product comprising a plurality of discrete dryer sheets, said dryer sheets comprising a non-woven fibrous substrate, wherein each said dryer sheet is folded along a first fold line and along a second fold line substantially parallel to said first fold line to have a z-fold, wherein each said dryer sheet is folded along a third fold line substantially perpendicular to said first fold line to have a c-fold, each said dryer sheet having at least a first portion, a second portion, and a frangible boundary between said first portion and said second portion, wherein each of said first portion and said second portion comprises at least about 0.7 grams of a fabric conditioning active composition and at least about 0.026 grams of a perfume. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The dryer-activated product of claim 14, wherein said frangible boundary comprises a plurality of perforations. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The dryer-activated product of claim 15, wherein each said dryer sheet is substantially rectangularly shaped. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The dryer-activated product of claim 16, wherein said dryer sheet has an axis and wherein said dryer sheet comprises two opposing long edges substantially parallel to and on opposing sides of said axis defining a width there between and two opposing short edges substantially orthogonal to said axis defining a length there between, wherein said frangible boundary is along said axis substantially parallel to said long edges. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The dryer-activated product of claim 16, wherein said dryer sheet has an axis and wherein said dryer sheet comprises two opposing long edges substantially parallel to and on opposing sides of said axis defining a width there between and two opposing short edges substantially orthogonal to said axis defining a length there between, wherein said frangible boundary is substantially parallel to said short edges. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The dryer-activated product of claim 17, wherein said plurality of discrete dryer sheets are in a stack. ### Claim 20 A process for conditioning fabrics comprising the steps of grasping a discrete dryer sheet having a frangible boundary; tearing said dryer sheet along said frangible boundary into a first portion and a second portion; placing one or both of said first portion and said second portion inside an automatic laundry drying machine containing articles of clothing; and turning on said automatic laundry drying machine.
