Somehow my brain combined these paragraphs to read that you buy bras with nipples…

My brain’s weird like that. 😕

Another vote here for JIF peanut butter. It doesn’t get much more heavenly than that.

Razor blades: Mach 3? No, not enough for me. I need it TURBO. It’s the only blade that won’t leave me leaking like a sieve shaving against the grain, which I have to do since my facial hair is rather thick.

I will only buy CD-Rs sold at the Apple Retail Store by my house. I assume that since Apple is selling them to me, they’ll work on my Mac. And they do. Haven’t had a single “coaster” yet. Those big spools of 50 CDs are verboten to me.

DVDs: Unless it has _at least_ a commentary track on it, I won’t get it. Why? Because inevitably, some super-duper special edition will come out that will make the first release look pathetic. Waiting all those years for a Pulp Fiction DVD was worth it.

Been a Crest kid all my life, always will be. I use Multi-Care with Whitening now. Why not get your toothpaste fully loaded?

On that note: Glide dental floss. The name says it all.

And finally: LifeStyles UltraThin condoms. Everything else leaves me a little lacking in sensation down there. 😃
