Does anyone else remember an old commercial from the 80's where Dick van Dyke urged kids to never stick anything INSIDE their ears...except their elbows? (Because it's impossible...get it?)

Q-tip Quandry?
I just wanted to make a quick post to say I was looking at my box of
Q-tips today after my shower & I noticed it said something like,
"Helpful Ideas for Uses on Back!" or something to that effect with a list of things like, "arts & crafts, makeup application, clean between your babies toes," etc.
I had to think to myself, are there a lot of people who get a box of Q-tips &
then go, "Oh Gee, what am I going to DO with these?"

LOL, I know it's pretty silly. But there are actually people who have done permanent damage to their ears/hearing by jamming Q-tips in there like lances. I remember we learned about it in my sign language classes. Punctured ear drums, heinous scar tissue. Crazy stuff.
ReplyDeleteKit, I went back & added to/edited the post because I didn't want it to seem like I thought it was silly about people hurting themselves with the q-tips, like you mentioned. No, that's not funny at all! I thought the silly part was having to be told what to actually DO with the q-tips in general, as if they are some exotic thing you can't think of any uses for! lol
