Worst. Product. Ever.
My bus stop is right by a florist's shop. I peeked in the window today and saw a display of mylar balloons.
There were balloons for birthdays and balloons for sick people and balloons for anniversaries.
And there was one balloon that had a large bouquet of cartoon roses pictured on it. It read: "I'M SORRY."
Now, as much as I think that giving flowers is a pretty lame, mechanical way to apologize, giving a child's plaything with a PICTURE of the flowers you didn't buy is just deeply deeply stupid.
What kind of person buys a balloon to say he's sorry?
The kind who doesn't care if he ever has sex again, I guess.
Second worst product: I bought some soap the other day. It was the liquid kind. It was sort of orangish, pretty innocuous looking. To the extent I thought about what it might smell like, I probably assumed that it was citrusy.
It was NOT citrusy. It was--I am not kidding--Patchouli scented. Ugh--who is this being marketed toward? The Patchouli-wearing crowd and the soap-using crowd aren't precisely coterminus.
just sayin'.

I was thinking maybe doctors could start sending us our diagnoses on mylar balloons: YOU'VE GOT CANCER (frowny-face on back), etc.

That's hilarious. Maybe the insurance companies could get in on it to:
"You've reached your cap."
Maybe there could be a cartoon of a penis on the other side, just to drive home (so to speak) the point: "Buddy, You're Fucked."
