Moo goo
I had to buy some bandaids today. I know: my thrilling life. Anyway, I popped in to the chemist to get the bandaids and there was quite a crowd waiting to be served. I found myself waiting next to a stand of products call Moo Goo, which is an all-natural, dairy-based skincare range. There was eczema cream, lip balm, soap, scalp-friendly shampoo and, er, an 'udder cream' for application to the 'teats'. That's what it said on the box. That's taking the cow metaphor a bit too literally, I think.
Subsequent investigation reveals that the udder cream actually started as just that - cream for cow udders - until they realised what a good moisturiser it was and repackaged it for people to use on their face. Which may be true, but I think I'd change the name. As a consumer, I'm not keen on any part of my body being likened to a cow's. Unless it was my eyes. Cows have lovely eyes. And better eyesight than me.
