Weird Product Promotions (guys may want to skip this post)

September 11th, 2006 at 11:56 pm

I'm shopping today. Store was out of what I had gone there for. So I wasn't in a great mood. This sets the context for the rest of this post.

I go up and down the aisles to see if there are any good coupons. Found some including one for $1 off milk - my favourite "super duper filtered" brand - and they are good til Dec 31st. Needless to say a couple went into my purse. Found some other new ones to add to the trains I'm starting.

So I get to the "feminine papers" section of the store. There is this box attached to one of the shelves. Of course I grab one of what's in them to see if it includes a coupon. No coupon, no instructions but a "lift and sniff" feature. I lifted, I sniffed (not that I had to very hard those things always are overpowering once you open them). Cheap perfume-y smell. The sort that reminded me of woolworths or woolco.

Excuse me? Mr Manufacturer of feminine goods, but if I want to smell pretty I'll use perfume. I wear your products so I don't stink and stay clean. I thought the objective of them was so you didn't smell!

    Now see, when you say, "guys may want to skip this", you KNOW we're going to read it!

    Of course, then, we'll walk away, grumbing, "Man, why did I read that?"

    Yes, like moths to an open flame. I know. It's sad. Big Grin

    I was tempted to all it "Does your pantiliner smell?"

    The guys would have been running and screaming away from their keyboards at the thought of reading that I'm sure.
