to think that a bottle of soap shouldn't have this written on it?

bought some hand soap today which had written on the front of the bottle "silly twits ignore their mitts". Great I thought that should encourage the kids to wash their hands. Imagine my surprise when my 7 y.o. DD read the back of the bottle and it said this...

"What should you never leave the washroom without doing? Checking your zip is properly done up? Checking your hair is OK? Checking there's no trace of spinach between your teeth? Checking you're not wearing your conquest's underwear by mistake, if you've just had sex with the maitre d'? yes, yes, yes and yes. But more importantly, you should wash your hands. By failing to do so, you risk everything from common flu to e coli. If that doesn't make you a twit, well, we don't know what does? Sleeping with the maitre d', we suppose."

WTF?

Quick google says the brand is Anatomicals. The packaging is quite bright and garish and kiddie looking but it looks like one of those 'quirky' fun brands aimed at adults.

Crap marketing.

autumnmum · 01/09/2012 20:09

Yep it is Anatomicals. The front of the packaging doesn't look "adult" which is why I didn't check the rest of it.

Well not everything revolves around children!

You're quite right blackberry but who would think to check the packaging of soap that is on the same shelf as regular brands? I'm just annoyed because I have had to have a very difficult conversation with my DD.
