I'm a sucker for Packaging!

I have been buying the same tampons for years. Years! And every time I deviate for whatever reason I'm always disappointed and am reminded never to do it again.

As of yesterday, I bought a new brand all because I liked the box and the colors. lol

I think their ad campaign is utterly cheesy, trying to be all "edgy" or something. It's a tampon. My gawd.

But I still can't help but love the box and fun colors. I'm totally a sucker for fun design. I even enjoy how cute they look in my purse and the material the wrapper is made out of. disbelief

What have you bought lately simply cause you like how it looks?

food! among other things, i buy foods that have bright, colorful labels. i know they are luring me with their sharp images, but, it works on me. in fact i just bought two twenty pound bags of 'jasmine rice' from the indian grocery down the raod because it was all black and yello and red on the bags. shrug i'll go back for more later cool

You only bought these because the AD's say they hold Vodka better than the leading brands.

Nope, the rower claimed it was the spandex suit that makes it look like that, not the excite of winning a gold medal!

I just read this whole thread.

Somtimes surreal is not the word for this place.

I only have one commetn and that is on the rower with the big cock.

My wife and I stared at this, and then each other, as it was transmitted live on the BBC in the middle of the day. No photoshop, just penis.

Coxless fours, not in this boat!
