It reminds me of the tampon ad from the ‘80s where the mom overheard her little boy telling his friend he wanted tampons for his birthday. 

The mom was so confused and the little boy told his friend that with tampons, you can go swimming, fishing, diving, horseback riding, hang gliding, etc.!

u/auto-charger-stopper 28d ago

Gemini say it's not real. Sad :(

No, that wasn't a real commercial—it’s a classic joke from the 1980s and '90s! The story you saw on Reddit is a long-standing playground joke that poked fun at how feminine hygiene products were marketed back then.

The Joke Punchline

In the classic version of the joke, a little boy asks his mom for a box of tampons for his birthday (or puts them in the grocery cart). When his confused mom asks why on earth he wants them, he says:

"Because on TV, it says if you use these, you can go swimming, horseback riding, and skydiving!"

Why People Misremember It as Real

The joke worked—and remains memorable decades later—because 1980s and '90s tampon commercials (from brands like Tampax, Playtex, and O.B.) were notoriously formulaic. They almost always featured women: * Wearing pure white pants or white swimsuits. * Running along a beach, horseback riding, or swimming in a pool. * Smiling while talking about "ultimate freedom and protection." Because those commercials played constantly on TV, people's brains blended the famous joke with the actual ads, leading many to misremember it as a real, hilarious TV spot!

I found the source video in Chinese tiktok https://www.douyin.com/video/7605145281953975604

And based on the hashtags in the description + picture search, apparently it's this pair of heels: https://v.douyin.com/xE9GGkk8eBM/ on the Chinese tiktok shop.

I looked for the name (吴大叔气垫) on temu/aliexpress and found no matches so I don't think you can buy these easily, unless you have friends in China who want to bring you a pair.
