Racism With Cotton Swabs



Me: Did you get the Q-Tips?

Andrew: Yup. Here.

Me: Nooo...

Andrew: What?

Me: I'm not trying to be difficult, but I don't know if I can use these. They're all wrong.

Andrew: Wrong brand?

Me: No, wrong color. We only get white Q-Tips. White. It's like buying paper towels with decorative print.

I hear ya. Q-tips must be white, and cardboard rather than plastic. Paper towels must be devoid of all color. Must.

THANK YOU, Crafto. It is the unspoken truth.

I HATE paper towels with prints on them. I am finding it harder and harder to find just plain ol' white ones.

HAHA!

I know what you mean. My boyfriend has pink plastic handled Q-tips at his house, and I always resent having to use them, and try and remember to bring my own white cardboard ones. :]

I am so happy I am not the only one! I've always felt like a freak for only wanting WHITE paper towels!

Kelly said...

Kate, I have to admit that I rather like the patterned toilet paper... IT'S QUILTED!

I have never seen pink q-tips...i love them! I must add "only pink q-tips" to my public appearance rider.

Now...I just wait to get some public appearances....

I like the colored q-tips..they look pretty in their jar. We have purple and pink.

Who knew this was such a heated topic? Forget politics, just bring up Q-Tips at the dinner table.

I agree- must be white. Although I think it's the fact that the white ones are cardboard and not plastic. The plastic ones bend when you try to dig wax out of your ears! (Gross? Sorry.)
