Marketing?

I know this is sort of random, but these things really crack me up! I got some Playtex "sport" tampons because they were on sale, and i had a coupon, and i am pretty much not a brand snob. So anyway...some marketing genius, decided that putting "fortunes" or "inspiring messages" on my tampon wrapper would sell these better than the next brand. Seriously? Because when i am cramping and bloated and basically feeling like at any moment my uterus may fall out and be flushed down the toilet, reading "Go with your gut" or "Try something new" is going to make me feel better???

I can see it now, I am moody, feeling bad, headed to the bathroom to take care of my "feminine needs" and...my tampon message turns my whole day around? Maybe i am emotionally unstable. I'm thinking of ending it all, then i read "Ready to take on the world" or "Mental attitude affects performance" on a tampon i happen to notice lying around and it saves my life! I sprint to the kitchen overjoyed to brew myself a cup of tea to help celebrate this Hallmark moment and read the Celestial Seasons tea box for even more inspiration!

If tampons could talk, i hardly think they would say "Go Team"! What do you think?
