lol! Me neither! That's too funny! Who would buy that?

I can't believe I commented first? Now I know how the others feel. I'm not so much "okay, silly, so you're first, so what?" anymore, I'm all woo-hoo! :)

I have to admit that I did not buy the above pictured product, but received some free samples. Chamomile and they also had a green tea kind....they are just weird.

like baby powder wasn't bad enough - gah!

- were you also wearing some hot leopard print pumps in that dream because that would really make the outfit - and a matching headband - with cool big sunglasses....

I don't think I can mix tea and feminine products. It's like mixing burritos and floorcoverings. Or making chocolate-sceneted cat litter. It seems somehow wrong to me.

Laurie,

YOU CRACK ME UP!!!!!!!

Really, who comes up with that stuff...I don't want to smell like tea bags either!!!! LMAO

I'm glad you 'fessed up to the taller.

Now, will you 'fess up to the fabulous boots spy-taller-thinner-you is wearing at Vlad's? And let's not forget the ultra-fabu sunglasses. Can't have people knowing who you are!!!

Cursingmama, I was wearing black stilleto heeled boots but the leopard print pumps sound better!!!

Ah, fantasy. So much better than traffic.

OMG. I just sorted my sweat tea out my nose! Were they next to the tampons with the witty/funny comments on the wrappers?

I just got an invite to your Dad's "Retirement Party".

Isn't chamomile supposed to put things to sleep?

Ick. Pretend I didn't write that.

I dont understand the scented fem hygiene at all! not even the more traditional ones. There isn't one I think "yeah THAT'S what I want my lady business to smell like!"

Maybe the chamomile is to help your "girl parts" get some sleep while you work all day? Lord knows those "parts" do most of their work in the evenings. It's hard out here for the parts!

What? You've never heard of teabagging?

UGH - far too many memories of Junior High are hurtling through my brain... (I had a lower locker - nuff said!)

Tea, huh? What will they think of next?

Wow! What a mind. Too funny....I was not up on the ice cube angle of the polonium ingestion. YIKES! That is ALL SO STRANGE!

EVERYONE wants to be taller, except maybe Yao Ming. (You know, the NBA player who just walks up to the basket and drops the ball in. I think that's his name, or maybe it's Ming Yao. Something like that. Tori who?)

Anyhow, there's an old and fairly gross joke that the tea thing reminded me of, not at all suitable for a family-friendly blog, which my husband told me early in our acquaintance, thus proving that 1) he was a guy 2) he was weird enough for me to marry.

Ewww! Chamomile "girl products"?! That's just bizarre.

I saw flavored ones yesterday at an AM/PM. I about died and wished that I had my camera. Now you can coordinate your douche and pads! Do you think they'll come out with half and half flavored spray to put in your tea pad? Maybe a lemon tampon?

Ewww! I could get sooo much more disgusting about those...but I'll spare you. I'd stick with the boots. Moscow in winter = no exposed skin for me.

My 11 year old son spied these on the shelf just before Christmas. SO - not only did I have to explain (in the SUPERMARKET, mind you)what the product was for; but also why women would want that part of their anatomy to smell of . . . well, different things. WITH my 6 year old daughter hanging on every word and asking pertinent (but pointed) questions about . . . well, older girl things.

Sigh - there's never a dull moment in parenting.

LIZ! *Snort* "Hard out there for the parts"!!!! My daughter loooooves it when I talk like a pimp!

Now I must clean off my monitor.

I think this is the one time I won't hear my mother say, "They don't have these Kotex in Georgia! We never get anything!"

And, side note to Kotex, I don't need ANY help in getting my body to fall asleep. Get me something to keep it awake!!

Leeny! You are way cool now that you are #1!

How about some peppermint so it will be minty fresh too!

This reminded me of the time my son wanted those car fresheners to smell like tuna, because he "loves the way tuna smells". I knew there was going to be in some serious girl trouble with this boy.

ROFL girly parts smelling like tea!!!!

Your style of humor TOTALLY reminds me of Dave Barry, who currently writes for the Miami Herald. Ever read him? Funny stuff when you have a few minutes to read his year in review

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/16345989.htm

#1 - I love that you have your camera with you at the store. TOO funny.

#2 - Why would we flavor this? I've not met a man yet who while I am needing those products would be interested in, well, uh, nevermind.

Definitely another reason never to wander near the feminine hygiene aisle. There's some scary stuff down that aisle!

Ew ew ew! It was bad enough, 15 years ago, when "Always" started putting some sort of bastardized-flower scent AND wings on ALL of their pads, and they smelled horrible AND there were wings which I hate, and I had to switch brands and they really should NOT mess with a woman at that point in her cycle, because when we find a pad that works for us we want it to remain the same forever and ever so we can think about pads as little as possible, am I right? (Oops! Impromptu therapy session!) (It was 15 years ago, I should maybe get over it!) But seriously. Chamomile Dreams?! Chamomile is a bad thing to put in feminine protection products. It could put a person off tea forever, and I like my tea, dangit.

I am also obsessed with the Russian spy drama and the polonium 210. I keep giving my husband updates on the situation, and bless him, he keeps nodding like he's interested. I think he was, at first.

Also? You were just compared to Dave Barry, which is the highest praise a writer can be given, I'd say. Totally excellent. :)

Okay, I also meant to say that I heard about that Kraft brand Guacomole in the news. I like to check labels on things like dips, guacomole, even sour cream. You'd be surprised how little of the "real" stuff is in some of those products! When the first few ingredients are water, partially hydrogenated oil, etc., you're not even getting real flavor. It's artificialized. Is that a word?

Leeny, I have been trying to avoid "High Fructose Corn Syrup" in my food, too, and did you know... it is in EVERYTHING! It is so frustrating. They even put it in whole wheat bread!

Last night I had Mrs. Gorton's grilled salmon steaks for dinner. Healthy, right? But I looked at the ingredient list and this salmon even had high fructose corn syrup in it!

Crazy I tell you.

I just shared this with a friend and her comment was "and do you really want someone to fall asleep when they are down there!".

I was once told the people with hayfever shouldn't drink camomille tea b/c they could have a reaction to it. . . do you see where I'm going with this?

I am allergic to chamomile so I certainly wouldn't want it anywhere near my girly parts!!!

So the girlie bits can be relaxed? o.0

Oh, and everyone is taller online. No... really.

It's raining here today. All bets are off.

I can envision it now ... A male suitor walks into a dame's apartment for the first time. "Is that tea you have brewing?" he asks. "Golly no," she responds, "that's my sanitary napkin!"

Ewwwwwwwwwww.

LOL (I have NEVER typed that before)!! My belated Christmas present digital camera arrives tonight and I CAN NOT WAIT to be able to take photos like that!

Happy New Year, darlin'!

Chamomile Kotex? What's next? Decaf douches? Red Bull K-Y?

Honestly, I just bought Steak & Eggs scented Cruex. And it works! Cleared up my jock itch and made me hungry for a diner breakfast.

Laurie, you're the best. Good Lordy lord, you crack me up. What would your spy name be? Natasha? Inger? Svetlana?

NOTE!!! Don't forget to nominate Laurie for the bloggie awards!!! Deadline is January 10! http://2007.bloggies.com/index.php

Love ya, Laurie!

Oh my god. Thank you so much for this! It's been done to death but now I am going to have to write something about feminine products. How on the green earth did "they" (you know they) get us to need to make our parts smell like anything?

Tea and cooch. Now there's a pair.

WHAT were they thinking?!?!?!?!?!

Darn. Now I really, really, really want a big cappuccino with a double shot of espresso. You're only buying essentials; I'm on a diet. Sigh.

I hear you on the corn syrup, Laurie. But did you hear the FTC busted Cortislim and TrimSpa for false advertising and fined them a bunch of $$$ - YAY!

OMG--Ewwwwww! One more reason why I'm glad I'm post-menopausal.

You Crack Me Up! I probably would have never spotted such an atrocious new product, but now that you've pointed it out I'll be looking for it on every trip to Target.

And also, my girly parts dream about much more exciting things than tea! :)

Do they have Gatorade-scented ones for going to the YMCA?

Chamomile, bah! I'm holding out for Earl Grey -- he might be cute, ya never know.

Watch out you don't get the Irish Breakfast Tea kind. I'm just thinking of Roy's welfare. It will bring on thoughts of bacon, and, well, vet bills for ingested feminine hygiene products is ex-pensive.

I'm with Julie, only I *liked* the wings when they were made with velcro because they'd really stay in place and you could move them and they were great, but I guess it wasn't worth the extra $0.005 per pad, because they stopped making them that way and now have some cheezy wings that SUCK BIG TIME and I'd like to switch brands but its not like there's anything better out there and I *so* can't wait for menopause and... Can you tell I had a chai tea this morning rather than my usual green tea? Which turns out to be a blessing, given your lovely post.

Oh, and I don't know if you're up to it, and I don't know if I'll be up to it, but if we both are and the stars are in alignment, the WMG will attend the SnB tonite . . .

Ummm, would it be milk in first or last with those things?

could be worse-- could be bubblegum scent..

Eeeewwwww!

MonkeyGurrl... I won't be at snb tonight, I have the flu-cold or whatever makes one cough and sneeze and carry on. I don't want to spread the goodness to all of snb. But I have something small for your wee monkey girl, I'll bring it next time I go to snb!

Hi Laurie,

I've been enjoying your blog for a few weeks now, and the "tea" photo proved too much for me not to comment. The whole chamomile thing is clearly sick and wrong....soothing? at that time of the month? too little too late I reckon.

Wonder what the male equivalent would be.. beer flavoured pants perhaps? (not trousers, underpants...I'm English) Actually no, that just sounds like the perfect excuse for some very unsavoury chat up lines. Urg.

Tea tea....makes sense to me. Now all of you rush over to my website and buy a copy of my FIRST CD EVER. My url is http://www.bobwoodyard.com. Yes, I am a faithful reader of Laurie's blog and a webmaster myself. Shoo, go...I'll be waiting for you.
Vicki

Blech... That really grosses me out. Now I will have to really concentrate on NOT thinking about this post when drinking chamomile tea, which is my very favorite...

I'm so with ya' on the taller, thinner fantasy-me. I also have long red hair in my own head.

And I thought it was horrifying when they made black pantiliners so they wouldn't show under dark clothes!

And with my luck it would be "PRICE CHECK! PRICE CHECK on Chamomile mini pads! Jumbo box! PRICE CHECK!"

Polonium 210, eh? Why do they always blame the poor Poles? How about Canadium 210 for a change?

But I digress.

Vlad's Diner will only let you in if you know the secret password, Laurie, and wear the diamond collier with the hammer-and-sickle pendant. As for the password, you might want to try "Sobakowa." Oops. Now I must go and tickle myself to death for this revelation.

You rock!

Oh my gosh! I've been trying to avoid "high fructose corn syrup" too, and it IS in everything!

It's even in the South Beach Diet salad dressings.

I have resorted to not eating bread at all, if I can avoid it. Apparently, gluten is hard to digest the older one gets.

Going to the grocery store requires a master's degree in chemistry, it seems.

Don't forget...go nominate Laurie for this wonderful blog:

http://2007.bloggies.com/

I wonder if Natasha Fatale would use tea tampons?
Seriously, there are some ideas that do not need to be developed, and I'm a-thinking this is one of those. I'll never be able to drink my soothing chamomile tea again w/o having a flashback.

BLEH! And did they misspell chamomille???

*snork*

Sadie6 has red hair in her head. hehe Does she keep her brain somewhere else, or has hair developed some brains? I know it has a mind of its' own, but.......

camomile kotex is just so wrong on so many levels

New! Kraft Guacamole-Flavored Dip Substitute! Now with Polonium!

On the "bloggies" website, you have to nominate at least 3 different blogs. I only ever read Laurie and www.stuffonmycat.com. What are some other ones you all would recommend?

So exactly how do they do Quality Control on a product like this? Hand out a bunch to women on their periods and have them come back in an hour for a "spread 'em and sniff 'em" test?

Laurie,

Salmon is easy to prepare. Wrap in foil with some lemon, butter and dill. Then bake. No need for high fructose anything. Also, be sure you are getting WILD ALASKA SALMON, not farmed. It will taste way better.

ewwwww!! incredibly thin AND incredibly icky...I may never drink that tea again....don't even want to KNOW what Playtex means that to smell like.

Dear Kotex, please stop. Love, The Human Race

And, BTW, what exactly is a "Chamomile Dream"?

They need some girls on the marketing team.

When I was there, 11 years ago, there weren't any coffee shops off Red Square. There was an amazing bistro off of Patriarch's Pond, not far away, though. Very good place for espionage, especially if you know Master and Margarita (excellent book, btw).

I would never buy scented pads, especially ones I could be even more allergic to. That's as bad as the Always wrappers now saying, "Have a good period," like some kind of warped fortune cookie.

Gee, couldn't this sort of thing contribute to TSS? I remember when toxic shock syndrome was BIG news - and it seems I remember, in the far recesses of my brain, that frangrances could contribute. So, although I am past that stage of my life (just sayin' thank you GODDESS!) I think we should boycott and/or protest this addition to feminine hygiene products.

Not to mention that I am allergic to chamomile. Lots of folks who are allergic to ragweed pollen are also allergic to chamomile because they share the same irritating protein. Who would have thought up such a stupid thing?

My favorite part is the mental image of you in the aisle TAKING A PICTURE OF IT. Peeps must have thought you were C-razy.

We like Isotopes here too!!!!
DOH!
http://www.albuquerquebaseball.com/

Since chamomile is supposedly calming, maybe this a right wing conspiracy to stop all that wanton premarital sex. Dog, I could have used me some Chamomile Kotex 20 years ago!

Dang that high fructose corn syrup! I just checked, and it's even in my Altoids! Gaah!

And that tea thing, good grief!

This is right up there with the TV ad to "Have a happy period!" My daughter just about threw her shoe through the TV when that one first came on...Oh, and the blue dye they squirt on feminine products to simulate the real thing...at lunch or dinner time when they show the ads...totally gross...Do we really need to see this stuff??

I'm a devout lurker here, Laurie. You make my mornings! =-)

Ahh my favorite is "Berry Bliss" and "Peach nectar" deodorants. NOT Who wants their pits to smell like a cobbler?? GROOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS

It could be worse really.... I can see it now...

Tandoori Chicken or Creme Brulee

Who the $#%%@@$$# THINKS of these things?? And what bunch of dumbass MEN in marketing approve this stuff?
Lordy, Laurie, I am SO proud of you for keeping to your financial resolutions- and thanks for the laugh!

Kraft guacamole????? I gave up anything with transfats 2 years ago, you might say that now most everything I eat is made by me. That's how much crap is in our food system. Good luck on the high fructose corn sweetner. That will be a battle worth fighting.
scented panty liners. Ha! what a concept. Just further evidence that there are too many men sitting around trying to make the "unpleasant" things in life better. All men should have a period just once. It would do wonders for world peace (and they could smell good at the same time!)

Oh sure, sure. I'm a dumbass. But hey, you never know- a head filled with red hair might be a great thing!!

And whoever it was that mentioned the black pantyliners? I'm with ya. Those ones freak me right out- the ads kept showing women wearing black underwear and saying how embarassing it would be to have a hot man see your white pad showing through your black underwear.

Um... what? Not so sure I want hot men seeing me in my underwear if I am needing to wear a pad in the first place. I'll stay fully clothed in those instances, if you please...

your comment about not buying stuff made me think of this article I read this morning:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070103/ap_on_re_us/shopping_sabbatical

Jill -
Looking for funny blogs - check out
widelawns.blogspot.com

too funny.

I just think that if the Russian government is going to kill someone, they could have picked something a little less....um....CONSPICUOUS....

I mean...come on....what happened to the spies of the old days.

DIDN'T ANYONE SEE SCARECROW AND MRS. KING???

I used to want to be taller but I have decided I just want really to be with a tall guy. I like that image very much.

I have been working on my weight for some time so I have been reading labels a LOT and it is just plain amazin' to know what is and is NOT in the alleged food item you think you are purchasing.

I really want to only buy essentials this year...must work on that muscle next...

Incredibly thin, and incredibly odd.

Now that is one great reason to carry a camera around at all times!

Oh. My. Gosh. I was laughing like crazy at your post, but the comments are even more hysterical... poor hubby's trying to put the boy to bed, and I'm down here sounding like I've lost my mind...

Ha! I can just see it.

Typical male with standard pick-up line: So, what's that scent that you're wearing?

You: Oh, that's my pad... it's Chamomile. Do you like it?

Typical male: Uh, sorry, I have to leave, bye!

You are just too funny! I have to read your blog daily! You need a newspaper column...............

I was just thinking on my way home that it's 4 days into January and I'm feeling better than I have in a few months. I did make a 2007 Taking Care and Improvement List (http://www.tamemymind.com/artscrafts/2007/01/01/2007_taking_care_and_improvement_list.php) *and* I'm actually sticking to the 5 "everyday things"! [Well, so far anyway... 8-)]

part 2... the long URL didn't display properly - click my name on this comment instead...

If you find you need a travel mate for that trip to Moscow sweetie, I'm up for it! (Granted, you don't know me, but still) I've been all obsessed with going to Russia since way back when they were as cold and unfeeling as those faceless folks we're fighting with today and only C. Thomas Howell and Patrick Swayze could save us.

Btw, did you commit to the 365 project and if so, are you gonna share the pics?

Teabagging - hee hee, Wendy!

I can't imagine the focus group that thought chamomile panty liners were a good idea, but I guess if there's a market ...

Uh-oh. You know what's coming next, don't you? Do you really think it was safe to put those two entities in the same post?

Kraft and Kotex, a match made in hell.

Next thing you know it's gonna be KRAFTEX GUACAMOLE PADS - with practically no avocado in them, but PLENTY of high-fructose corn syrup infused with Polonium 210. And maybe just a touch of tortilla, for the spicy... no, I'm stopping right here, and probably not soon enough.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

I am still deeply disturbed that they are now making thong pantyliners in black because women complained that the white was too obvious. WTF??? First of all, I thought for at least that one week or so it was OK to revert to the granny panties and so found the idea of thong pantyliners to be deeply disturbing in itself. But to change the color? So the scent thing doesn't really seem that surprising.

Also, I love the idea of the leopard print stilettos. I often try them on but do not have the guts to buy them. Because where would you where them except for meeting with a spy?

Debby, re: the blue goo that they squirt to show the fluid absorption capabilities of the pads . . . did you ever see the Always ads where they decided to use red? Oh yes they did!! One campaign only, in magazines, and the withdrew it halfway through the month because so many people were horrified by it. Wonder why?

Chamomile-scented pantiliners? That's just all kinds of wrong.

OK, perhaps I'm procrastinating, but I had to find out more, and so I indulged in a bit of googling and ended up here:http://www.nonwovens-industry.com/articles/2004/11/feature1.php

More than you ever wanted to know about new developments in feminine protection, but read on and you'll find that they're also developing TAMPONS w/VITAMIN E. I'll leave it at that.

Those panty liners are for people who don't actually get their period. They just complain about it and pretend to be normal like the rest of us. Wtf? Incredibly thin tea smell?

LMAO here! OMG that is so funny! Obviously created by some clueless guy. Can you imagine him pitching his idea to Kotex: "Hey, women like tea, right?"

"...but read on and you'll find that they're also developing TAMPONS w/VITAMIN E." RROFLMAO heck, why not make it a multivitamin. That way I don't have to take my supplements during that week!

Hey, kill two birds with one stone and make chocolate scented feminine protection why doncha?

Femme fatale Russian spies definitely do not use tampons. They use discretely wrapped pads, remember?
"You fool! Zaaaaht is not zeee microfilm. . . "

Just one more product that plays into the American public's obsession with odors---body odors, bathroom odors, cooking odors, pet odors, you name it and we have a stinky product to make it smell even worse.

Don't worry, I'm totally obsessed with the Russian spy case as well. I hate that he had to die, but I love the idea that there are still "Russian Spies" out there.
I'm envisioning all of us looking very Grace Kelly-esque and knitting secret messages into our scarves! I think we could come up with a code..."Purl purl knit purl?!?! They've found the microfilm!!! Abort the mission!!!"

HAHAHAH!! Thinking about this is going to make the fact I have to work at home much easier...Thanks!

I can't imagine the looks you must have gotten when you whipped out your camera in the feminine hygeine aisle.

And I keeo picturing Drew's face turning beet red as he reads this post.

Whose idea was that?!?!?!??? WTF were they thinking??!!???? But actually, you can absorb stuff through mucosal tissue (ie, the vagina). So the vitamin E tampons may very well actually do something. But what about the other 3 weeks of the month?

Other blogs to nominate: Crochet Dude (of course!), The Panopticon, See Eunny Knit, just to name a few. And Miss Doxie, even if you don't like dogs.

Chamomile dreams? seriously?

I tried to write a nice short comment but in the end I had to make my response into a blog entry.

(also I used your picture but just so you know I didn't hotlink it - I only added a link back here to this post.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thankfully, I have never seen such a product.

Laurie

I happened on this blog a few weeks ago and find it totally amusing. Whomever compared you to Dave Barry is right and whomever commented that that is the highest of compliments is doubly right. Although I think you've also got a little bit of Janet Evanovich in there too. You go girl. What you need is a a writing contract. Somebody should be paying you for this. Anyhow, just writing to say that before checking out todays post, I'd just finished my cuppa beddy-bye Cammomile tea. After seeing the product, lets hope it does not induce nightmares.

In case anyone cares...
That product does come in unscented and it is indeed incredibly thin. I bought lavender scent once accidentally and the scent is minimal, though I would still never buy scented on purpose. I'm actually glad to see this picture because I haven't seen the product around (scented or otherwise) and thought they might have discontinued it.

Other stupid thing Kotex did: on some of their other pads, the paper strip you peel off has some kind of design on it in bright red. Um, at this time, I do not want to look in my wastebasket and see red spots. Apparently I'm not alone because the most recent packet I bought, the design had been changed to purple.

Those of you talking about "that time"... I have gathered that some women wear something like this every single day whether it's that time or not, so that's why they care about thong or black or whatever.

What I never understood is scented tampons.

Finally, a product to pair with McDonald's salads! You know, they make their salads "with estrogen in mind."

Seriously. I heard that in a McDonald's commercial.

Estrogen salad meets chamomile panty liners. Hysteria ensues!

Better yet: *subvert* the disposable feminine hygiene industry and buy one of these:
http://www.keeper.com/
I had a rubber one for 8 years, replaced it a few months ago with a silicone one: they are perfect things--eco-sensible, convenient, and wonderful for traveling/camping. And it feels GREAT having not paid any money for nearly a decade to the companies that sit around coming up with chamomile pads or "improved" tampons with plastic applicators (more landfill waste).

Laurie, it's not just you who's fascinated by the Cold War Glam - the whole thing literally dominated the news here for weeks.

In another example of advertising 'genius', here's a link to a photo of the notice that Itsu put up outside the restaurant.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_hadden/319511703/

Presumably their head marketer went to the same school as the Kotex 'Peppermint Nightmares' team "now how can we spin this, boys... I've got it!!!"

WTF is up w/ those Kotex?! Jesus Christ. Maybe they are really tea bags wrapped in cotton. I hate the smelly girl products anyway. I know I'm only just meeting you after spending an insomniatic night reading your blog, but I am going to admit that when girls wear those scented pads and tampons, I CAN SMELL THEM AND IT GROSSES ME OUT.

Also hi.

Imagine the horror as you realize you are allergic to chamomile when your girly parts let out a huge sneeze during a department meeting.

Did you snap this photo in the grocery store? That must have been a funny sight. ;-)

Okay, I thought it was bad enough when they came out with the horrible smelly deodorant ones. Like what? I want to announce to people within 100 yards of me that not only am I on my period, but covering it up with something that smells like those deodorant spray bombs in gas station bathrooms.

Then just about the time I quit having periods, now they have products so y'all get to have HAPPY PERIODS. The first time I saw that commercial on TV, I thought they had scraped the bottom of the barrel of new low. I was wrong. Chamomille scented Kotex. What's the tag line? Pads to calm you the hell down, cause we know you are in an uproar right now.

Holy Guacamole! Must be a southern thing. I say that all the time and people think I'm nuts. Probably think that for other reasons too. Camomille Dreams? Just what is dreamy about that? "I feel better already, thanks to dreamy camomille". McDreamy? I think not! Wonder if that's just a west coast item....Now I'm going to have to look next time I'm in the store.

Good luck on the 20 lbs and 3-5 inches. Oooh and nice choice on the D&G coat.

oh...my...gawd...that is just horrible...although chamomile is supposed to be soothing...for the stomach...ewwww yuck that is just wrong on so many levels.

Your post reminded me of movies like The Russia House...and Gorky Park, and maybe even a little like Torn Curtain--even though that took place in East Germany....

Snort! Spew! Well, Laurie, don't give them any more ideas. They might make "Guacamole Holiday" next! And just for fun, go see other things of bizarre ilk at http://www.engrish.com , where today's product is "Strange-taste horsebeans." While there, don't forget to check out the other hilarious names of things, especially chocolates and candies. All are very evocative . . . in some way or other.

Ew, and ew, and ew again. Chamomile pantiliners?! *gag*
And what the heck, no avocados in Kraft guacamole?! What do you want to bet, there's a little label on the package that says something like "This product may contain avocado". *sigh*

Chamomile Dream? o.0 Messed up!

Can't they just leave well enough alone.

What happened to just plain old soap and water?

Um... do the Chamomile Dreams panty liners contain High Fructose Corn Syrup? Or isn't it sweet tea?

Ew. Sorry. That was a bad thought.

I recommend St. Petersburg over Moscow. It just reeks of history and culture (and occasionally rotting garbage). Also, in Moscow, a Japanese businessman tried to buy me in the hotel elevator.

Chamomile is bad. But do the Russians have Polonium scented ones? and if so, do they glow in the dark? Just putting it out there....

Um, ew. What are they thinking?

And yes, I too have been obsessed with the spy thing.

Like you.... I am not sure if camomile is what I like my lower part to smell like! Interesting concept????

I wouldn't want it to smell like tea, and I CERTAINLY wouldn't want it to feel like going to sleep! ;-)

Wanna bet this was thought up by a man that has had a bad experience with PMS. He's just trying to calm us down!

I know I dream of chamomile smelling nether regions almost every night. How 'bout you?

OK, ew, ew, ew, ew, EW, EW, EW!

Somebody in marketing will be fired over this. Or, maybe the marketing honcho will keep their job and some underling who thinks their boss is a complete idiot will be fired--certainly more likely in corporate America.

The last thing I want is for my privates to go to sleep...

I went to the Kotex web site and saw they also make them in Lavender Blossom flavour. I guess it's all to relax really uptight girl bits as that's what Chamomile and Lavender are for, right?

dave barry? nfw! you're more erudite.

re: incredibly thin chamomile infused feminine products?

i hear chamomile is calming and good for the stomach. nevertheless, i'll pass.

re: kraft

i know someone who works for kraft. they do miraculous things with technology! you would be surprised and amazed at the ways micro-blended mayo can be delicious.

I'm pretty sure that Chamomile doesn't dream of smelling like girly parts either.

Oh that's nice. So now instead of saying we're on the rag, we can say we're brewing!

Must be something with Kotex...their site offers free ecards for your gal pals........

The really cool thing is that the London sushi bar had a HUGE hoarding outside, with a very James Bond picture apologising for being closed due to being at the centre of a spy controversy(you know the one I mean, the one at the beginning of the film where we get the pov from the gun barrel of some unknown who promptly gets shot)....

I'm with the girl using the keeper: I think they're great. Silicon rocks. When not in false boobies.

Thank you for the unintentional snicker...I was skimming through your posts since I've been away a few days and read "girly parts" as "party girls" and I snickered at what I thought was a new term for your hoo-hoo. I realize it was my own brain fart, and nothing on your part, but I had to give you credit for the crack-up.
