So my wife sends me out to buy Tampons. I can't figure out why she can't remember to buy them when we're at the grocery store. It always seems to be a last minute thing.
Anyway, I'm standing at the CVS and I'm talking to her on the cell phone and I ask her what absorbancy she wants me to buy. She tells me to just pick up the "variety pack." It's like 3 different types in one big box.
Later on in the week, I'm sitting in the bathroom and the tampon box is sitting out so I grab it and take a look at it (lack of decent reading material.) It seems that all of the "normal" absorbancy tampons are gone, but all of the other two types are still there in full quantity.
I can't help but think of the plastic-ware packs of 20 forks, 20 spoons and 20 knives. Notice how you always run out of forks? You end up with boxes and boxes of plastic knives and nobody wants them because they sure as hell can't cut anything.
They really need to re-think the whole concept of "variety packs." I mean, even oatmeal is the same way. Buy the variety pack and you're left with a box of Peaches and Cream flavor.
I think it's a good idea in concept, but it falls short in practice. 😉
