Noticed today some very inaptly named tampons - "Jumbo Pack".
Are they just for obese women? What marketeer said, "let's call it a jumbo pack - that will be appealing" ....or can't some people understand a good old fashioned 'Large pack'. My wife is wondering if Jumbo is bigger than Large. Should other animal derived names be used. Giraffe for anything tall?? |
