Ironically, I forgot to grab a new window...

Spending the day window shopping with Diva, it became rather apparent to me just how easily I am amused. So without futher ado, I present - Seriously, WTF?


If I had known that...


A new interesting phenomenon has hit our supermarket shelves. Apparently if you put the same product inside a black box with gilded flair, you can charge at least $3 more. I can see how it works as I have always liked the look of black with gilded flair, I am not about to pay extra for it!

The most disturbing part of this is that I first noticed this in the one aisle. Ansell Skyn condoms followed by U Platinum by Kotex sanitary pads.

Honestly my hip trendy teenaged friends - does this actually work? Do you pay the extra money for generally the same thing as the cheaper pack by the exact same company?

I am having a Migraine just thinking about it - lucky me, Neurofen has little pills that can pick up just that type of pain. The pack says so....

Bratz win again


The battle between Barbie and Bratz is a long running affair. Starting with Bratz hacking into Barbies market share, the failure of My Scene, the protracted legal battle where for a moment it seemed like Barbie had won - only to find out that the Judge overstretched and Bratz winning again their right to exist.

But Barbie has gone that one step too far. I present, Exhibit A - Fashionista Barbie.
Yes, I too am having SATC flashbacks. They may have well as just called her Cougar Barbie and be done with it.

At least her fans know how to dress her age appropriately - and I am not talking about the age group she is targeted at. Seriously Mattel - she looks 40!

New does not necessarily mean better.


I thought I struck gold today when I found Fruche on sale. Happily grabbed my Strawberry fields and went home with my conquest. About two bites in I started to wonder if they were on sale because they were off - god forbid! But no, they were perfectly in date. However a look for the Use By Date revealed a small red triangle with the worst words ever. "New Great Taste".

There was nothing wrong with the old taste! In fact, it was the best flavoured fruche of the lot, and the hardest one to get on the shelf, possibly because it was the best tasting one. So why did they have to change it?

I am, needless to say, extremely shattered at the loss of my favourite yoghurt and am inconsolable on the fact that there was no equal. Now there is simply no winner.
