Olestra, the fake fat that, according to the warning label - "induces nausea, loose stool and anal leakage"

Olestra was developed by procter and gamble... what are that outfit's top selling products?

Pepto Bismol
Charmin Toilet Paper
Attends Adult Diapers

See a connection?

Personally ... I'd be happier with a contentedly shiny headed man boasting a relatively low sex drive than a chemical-riddled one unhappy with what he has to offer.

Nah ... just easy-going with regards to people, and not-so-easy-going with regards to cultures and companies.

Hmm ... and the other four? (I suspect at least one having to do with a certain pineapple-dwelling sponge show ... but I'm not saying anything.)

Consumers running around in circles. *nods knowingly*

Same thing with the cosmetics companies. They give you mascara to make lashes thicker, and they make it waterproof so it won't smear. Then they give you makeup remover so you can take it out. The remover makes your skin oily so they give you toners. The toner makes you paler, so they give you tanning lotions... ugh.

Gimme good old soap and water. :) (Soap makes your skin dry, so you buy....) Oy.

LOLOL I feel the need to share a little anecdote about olestra. ;)

When the stuff first came out in snack foods, I was working at the hotel. I was working 2nd shift, and my relief for 3rd shift came in looking a little rough.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?" I asked him.

"Let me give you a word of advice," he said. "DON'T eat the Pringles with olestra in them."

"Why not?" I asked.

"I can tell you why in two words. 'OIL FARTS.'"

Me and the other person there couldn't stop laughing for like 10 minutes after that.

Poor guy! LOL
