It's the Guardian FFS, so it must, inconceivably, be real. If you're in the market for this, I have a suggestion that might save you some money. Go down to your local fishmonger's and buy a carp. Leave it out for a couple days. Same fragrance at (I'm sure) a much lower cost. Western Civilization has become an oxymoron. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

When such has entered an intimate garment ... after a few hours, say: I shall say nothing except, maybe.. not Everyone has functioning pheromone sensors --given the chemical effects of living in 2020--(so there may be some who Just Don't Get It). Maybe there are even some {{sob}} who rarely experience endorphins too? I suspect that INCELS, Nazis and similar: may never have experienced EITHER. We are amidst n-Zombies, so.. Carrion.

I mean, you can buy that candle, and it really is called that, but it actually smells of cedar and sandalwood etc. It doesn't actually smell of minge. It's just called that so that people get all ventilated about it (like you just did), and drive engagement (good, bad - doesn't matter), and that adds value to the brand. Far better to tackle Goop/Paltrow on the actually dangerous stuff they do (jade clunge eggs, the better with which to give yourself toxic shock), than this sort of ephemeral nonsense.

Makes her net worth as a human being decidedly negative, IMO. But yeah, those stones ladies are supposed to shove up their... I've always thought the "health benefits" marketing drivel for those is just an alibi for other "benefits"; aren't these basically just "Geisha balls"[1] under another name? --- 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wa_balls -- Christian R.

That she would market it as such I do not find depressing. What I find depressing is the fact that there are enough marching morons to purchase the product (for whatever reason) in a quantity sufficient for her to have "sold out" of them - at more than $75.00 per candle to boot. What I also find depressing is that the State of California had to sue her company over the false health and hygiene claims it made about shoving smooth stones into body orifices. Why did it come to that? How stupid can people be? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

The two of us are the only nations in the world that allow that. I get why we do: the part of our government that the banks and insurance companies don't own, the drug companies do. But New Zealand? WTF? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

The Moff: the part of our government that the banks and insurance companies don't own, the drug companies do. There are many more owners. You're forgetting Big Tobacco, Big Oil, perhaps above all the Military-Industrial Complex, and probably a bunch more that don't come to mind right now. -- Christian R.

Post #432,670 by static 2/17/20 6:35:41 PM 2/17/20 6:35:41 PM Reply	It's a loophole in the laws. That's the only explanation. I know that that sort of advertising is expressly prohibited in Australia, so I imagine it's just that in NZ it's well, not. Wade.

Crikey, now all the fish are going to smell like that!” **** defensively (this was told me by a woman! Honest!),
