  1. WTF Wednesday

    May 28, 2013 by Bridget

    Dallas and I are getting ready to have a garage sale. We found a half a can of acetone, I told Dallas to put it in the pile, “people will buy anything.”

    Case in point, this is from my friend Carla’s Facebook feed:

    These are just baby wipes.

    Baby wipes, seriously.Let’s examine this item for a moment shall we? First, they’re “Before & After” intimate wipes. If you need a stockpile of “before” wipes, you’re probably a prostitute. Also, if you’re doing “it” so many places you don’t have access to a shower or at least a wash cloth – you might want to reconsider your life choices. It says it, “gets you ready for whatever comes next.” I’m fairly certain if you’re using this wipe – you know what’s coming next.

    These are located (according to the ad in the first picture) in the ‘family planning’ aisle. Seems like they ought to be near the women’s personal care items. And why are they just being marketed to women? My friend Erin said they should also be marketed to men, they could be called “junk wipes.” Seriously, these are just baby wipes – probably scented like patchouli.

    They’re $4 off with the coupon – how much do 20 wet wipes cost? You get them for free at Buffalo Wild Wings.

    Thanks to Carla in Arkansas for posting this photo, Amber in Florida for pointing out to me, & Erin in Washington for making clever comments! If you spot a WTF? send it to me at bridget@twinisms.com.

     

     

     


  2. WTF Wednesday

    May 21, 2013 by Bridget

    There are things, real things that actually exist, things that people actually pay for with real money – that just shouldn’t exist. A couple of loyal Twinisms readers found some examples for you.

    Example #1 – The Banana Bunker

    Banana Bunker. You do not need this photo 1Seriously, $8.95 for a plastic container to protect a piece of fruit that comes in its own naturally protective case. Also, it looks NSFW. Promise me you won’t send your kids to school with this, they might get expelled.

    Example #2 – The Console French Fry Holder

    console french fry holder, you don't need this.Like bananas, french fries come in a container. Instead of wasting money on a plastic holder for your fries, just put the box between your knees like the rest of us philistines.

    * Thanks to Robin in Arizona and Kim in New Jersey for these submissions! If you spot a WTF? send it to me at bridget@twinisms.com.
