The Manda Seeks the Nadir of Consumerism

I have this friend who is a newlywed and on antibiotics, so her doctor advised her to use a backup contraceptive method while on the antibiotics, because that's what you do. So she gets a box of contraceptive film.

And this really is a friend, not some lame "I have this friend" gambit to cover the fact that it's actually me. I don't always have need of contraceptives, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

So this friend, whom I will not NayName, tells me "So I open this box, pull out the package insert, and on the bottom, the good people at VCF have encouraged me to LIKE THEIR PRODUCT ON FACEBOOK."

So now, we proudly present a listing of other unlikely products and services to like on Facebook:

Depend Undergarments
Monsitat
Proctologists
RID (headlice treatment)
Home drug test kits
Mandelay (Look it up. I'm not even going to link to it here.)
Tinactin
Afrin Nasal Spray
Cottonelle Wipes
Tidy Cat
Immodium
The Shake Weight
Ex Lax
Zima
Nose/ ear hair trimmers
Rogaine
Gold Bond Medicated Powder
Sarah Palin's Alaska on TLC

Okay, so what's really hilarious about this post is that the GoogleAds service I have enabled on this blog is now generating ads for these products-- just had one pop up for lice treatment. Oh, Google, you're so zany...
