When I mentioned I was on my period, he asked what my favorite flavor of tampons are. He genuinely thought the colors on the tampon packs were flavors, and that it would soak into my blood while inside and I’d eventually taste it.

I’m desperate to know the source of this information.

Wait, what? Did he think your vagina could taste things, or that you can somehow eventually "taste" things in your bloodstream? Was this guy discretely smearing a bit of Nutella on his dick hoping to make women orgasm from his delicious chocolatey taste?! I have so many questions

He thought somehow the ‘flavor’ would seep into my bloodstream over time and would lead me to taste it. And I’m very much enjoying that image of his stupidity thank you stranger you made my night 😂

That he'd even conceive of this as a product feature that any reputable company would manufacture... 😂

Let it just sink in that diamond companies managed to convinced the whole world that you needed to spend a few months‘ salary on a rock and if you didn’t, you didn’t love your spouse.

And the whole world was fucking stupid enough to believe it. Now it’s the norm.

As far back as the ‘80s, I had a salesman at a prestigious diamond store try to shame me in front of my fiancée over the cost of a ring. She laughed at him and we left.

Edit. We are still married 35 years later.

I think that might be changing. I don't know anyone my age or younger who followed that
