CRAMP TABS

[weaktwos]

You see, our company has a health clinic that we can go to if we are feeling ill. There's a self-medication area where we can sign up and receive free aspirin, cold medicine, and even menstrual relief. These would be generic meds, so if you wanted Sudofed, you actually picked up the generic "Sudo-tabs", etc. Not longo ago, if a lady was in a position to seek "menstrual relief", she would go to the clinic and retrieve the delicately named, "Fem Caps". I liked that term, "fem caps". It wasn't so blatant about the intended purpose.

But now, the ad wizards at Textilease Medique from Wood Dale, Illinois have decided that the generic "Fem Caps" needed a new name: CRAMP TABS. And yes, I think it should be italicized, capitilized and bolded. Ask for them by name.

Oh, and for you men folk out there, I hear if you take one of these CRAMP TABS with an aspirin, your headaches from hell go away quite nicely. For a while, we actually had our head-pain suffering men in our department taking fem caps.

It cracked me up, too. It's kind of embarassing, though. You don't want to walk around with a package of this in your hand.

Someone probably got a promotion and a raise for coming up with Cramp Tabs.

What's next? An ad campaign featuring Susie Crampon, an active mountaineer and cramps sufferer?

Too funny.

Oh man, why did they have to do that?

Obviously, they want to shame women out of their cramp relief.
