Why?

Why would the protective plastic cap on my deodorant say "Embrace Challenge"? Are we so depressed as a country that a product that is supposed to keep us smelling good has to try to inspire us too? Hmmm.

i'm sure you don't want to notice, but feminine products have started trying to be inspirational, too.
i don't think it's working.

Have a happy period, hobbitsister:)

thank you, busy!

i wonder if chris predicted this would turn into a period discussion... ;)

I agree with both of you -- I mean, do we really buy that stuff based on whether it will inspire us?? (I sure don't)

Ok.. on the subject of feminine products...why is there a 'sport' version? Can it really be that different?? Ok..I don't really want to know. Though- if you take the PMS stereo type (Busy DOES NOT do this) telling a woman to have a happy period could be down right deadly couldn't it??

You are so dead.

And I think the one exception is Dove wrappers. Chocolate's always right.

yes, the genius who thought "have a happy period" was a good idea probably has a pretty high price on his (definitely his) head.

but I don't even know whose slogan that is -- shows how much I pay attention to that when I'm looking for feminine products... ;)
