Really?: Touch and Brush, Boogie Wipes edition


I've decided to add a new, regular feature to my blog called "Really?" This feature will include various subtopics. Today's is dedicated to absurdly stupid products (IMO).


Walking through the grocery store yesterday I came across a product on the diaper aisle called "Boogie Wipes." Essentially they were wet wipes to wipe your child's snotty nose with. Really? Who needs this? You can use a tissue or wet wipe for the same purpose - and those can also be used for other things!


Then, watching television later in the day I saw a "Touch and Brush" toothpaste dispenser. Really? As a society, are we incapable of dispensing our own toothpaste. The product touts it delivers the perfect amount every time with little or no mess. Well, I can do that too - can I claim this service should retail for $90 (like Touch and Brush does?) Really? Really?

OK, I've got to go blow my nose now and brush my teeth - both the old-fashioned, time-proven ways!!
