Q-Tip Euphemisms

I just bought a package of store brand Q-Tips.  On the back is this delightful bit of marketing:

MANY USES:

• BABY CARE
• BEAUTY CARE
• HEALTH CARE
• ARTS AND CRAFTS

Somehow “cleaning out your ears” didn’t make the cut.

One thought on “Q-Tip Euphemisms

  1. just pixels says:

    WOW! Who knew Q-Tips had so many uses? Although I urge caution on the “baby care”. Babies move suddenly and in unexpected ways. A nearby Q-Tip could poke out an eye or poke out another eye.

    Like the ancient Greeks, parents believe there are four elements:
    1- things that can poke your eye out (this is most things)
    2- things you’ll choke on
    3- things that can cut off a finger
    4- things that are poison
