so i’ve seen this this aveeno commercial on the tv nearly a dozen times. it starts of showing some woman (she’s probably 25 acting like she’s 55 and has wrinkles) and how she’s got “lines” on her face and she needs something to help her out.

so the commercial starts to tout the benefits of natural botanicals, wheat and shiitake. never paid much attention to that until this morning. then i thought, why in the hell would a woman put FUNGUS on her face. i mean, fungus is pretty delicious in some forms. i like mushrooms; they’re tasty to eat. but NOT to put on my face!

that got me thinking, of all the other ridiculous things that women are willing to put on their faces just for a reduction in the “appearance of wrinkles.” seriously, if aveeno has its way, we’re gonna start seeing avocado-lemongrass face lotion with cashew shell exfoliant. or crocodile skin extract with spinach leaf and coriander seed.

come to think of it, i bet i could make boatloads of money creating and selling this stuff.
