Freeby/Abuse
As a child, my folks were given loads of promotional stuff from drug companies hawking their wares - nothing expensive, stationary mainly.

One time my Mum was given a gimmicky towel, a small towel that had been compressed into a wee brick, and could be uncompressed and used normally after soaking in water. She kindly gave it to 14 year old me, as I though it was quite cool (I was always a geek).

So I took the wee brick with me to an Army camp with the cadets (nice and compact you see, saved on packing and carrying).

A couple of days in, I thought I might need a small towel, and soaked the brick in the sink for ten minutes.

It softened up, and I pulled it out of the sink by its corners, proudly displaying the legend "VAGISIL" to the other hard as fuck army cadets in the room.

Thanks Mum.

One question
Presumably the towel was now soaking wet anyway, so what exactly were you going to do with it? Dry yourself? I'm confused!

My mum was a pharmacist
and all our stationary, mugs etc. were branded - I had to go to school with a ruler advertising pile cream and drink out of Canestan branded mugs.

There were some cool ones though - I love my ritalin pen and Prozac brolley.

Good old Vagisil
"For the intimate feminine area", so the UK adverts say.

IT'S. CALLED. VAGISIL.

the viagra keyring
was worth it, just about.

Advertwise, "for the vag" would have been much better :D
