As a guy, I often wondered what training bras were training girls for. But now, a weirder question arises: what is Proctor & Gamble thinking coming out with a line of premenstrual tampons? Money, no doubt. Get this:
Almost is a pre-menstrual tampon designed just for you, to help you get ready for what you know is coming. Because it is coming, and you've waited long enough.Those fun flavors? "Red menace." "Green party." "Blue note." "Orange county." Yeesh.
Almost™ Premenstrual Tampons come in four fun "flavors"-- so you can be yourself, no matter what.
Almost™ Premenstrual Tampons. Because you're almost there. Period.
It's a spoof. Just look at the site that hosts it.
ReplyDeleteIt's also not on pg.com.
If it's a spoof, it's a good one. But the site it's hosted on is that of Stay Free contributor Jason Torchinsky, who, if I'm not mistaken, is part of the comedy group the Van Gogh-Goghs. Where it's hosted doesn't matter, since in the original post at AlterNet and StayFree (not related to the maxipad maker), the post author says it was leaked (no pun intended) to him. He also says the product is still in the planning stages, so P&G wouldn't have mention of it on their site til it's ready for launch.

Keep reading the comments on the Stay Free! website; Jason says its a spoof.
