Seriously - why do these even exist? Japan loves its seasonal themed crap, I know, and I share in that love every time I go to a convenience store and see new stupid drinks or snacks. I suppose Nordic print is everywhere because it's cold like the Nordic countries of northern Europe (although not really), so why not put it on tampons? At least they didn't cost any more than the normal print ones.
Better watch out for this starry night design, too!
Yet unfailingly, I was reminded at the register of how ridiculous this all is. I told the cashier I didn't need a bag since I'd be tossing it into my big work bag, but she still wanted to wrap the box in brown paper. IT'S A SNAZZY NORDIC PRINT, WHY WOULDN'T I WANT TO SHOW OFF MY AWESOME FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS TO EVERYONE I KNOW??? Oh, that's right, because it's still a tampon box and it would be so mortifying to be seen carrying it. I do wonder if the Nordic print will throw off my manager from realizing it's a tampon...
In other news, I took a picture with a big poster of Aiba in a train station. VERY DANGER.
Now if only I could somehow rip that poster off the pole...
This entire post is BIG DANGER.
ReplyDeleteHAHHAH I snorted after I read "very danger", oh I love Aiba so much.
ReplyDeleteOH NO TAMPONS BEING SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC?!?! /end of the world
