Dumbest. Product. Ever.

[Brigid]

I see this commercial every now and then: Latisse -- for "inadequate lashes." WTF?? There is a prescription for that? Um, isn't that what mascara is for?

1. My favorite:

"Pigmentation of the eyelids and iris may occur. Iris pigmentation
is likely to be permanent." :wtf:

[gratuitous]

2. I thought this was going to be about the meat loaf pan

And I was prepared to do battle on behalf of the MLP!

[Brigid]

4. Actually, if I made meatloaf, I might try the MLP.

It looks like it might actually work. But I live alone, and meatloaf isn't suitable for cooking for one. It only keeps for so long. ;)

[gratuitous]

5. One meatloaf, one meal

It's the perfect size!

[Brigid]

7. A whole meatloaf in one sitting?

You must be a lot bigger eater than I am. ;)

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. For me, the BEST thuing about meatloaf is sliced leftover meatloaf sammiches,,,

.
.
.
...the next coupla days -- with plenty of yellow mustard and, for this -- plain white bresd.
.
.
Meatloaf freezes well, too.

15. Plain white bresd works for me. I guess.

:rofl:

[Lasher]

40. I like mine on white bresd too, but with ketchup.

:D

16. Alton Brown says "NO!".

Single function utensils are verboten.
;-)

[gratuitous]

22. Yeah, well he can stay out of my house, then

Mrs. gratuitous has to physically restrain me from the phone when the commercials for the meat loaf pan come on. Alton Brown would have to acknowledge that the meat loaf pan is the most perfect utensil for making meat loaf, and it would be a sin to use it for anything else. I suppose you could bake bread in it without the little insert dealy-bob, so it wouldn't have to be single function.

[trof]

24. Damn, I thought I was coming over for brats and beer Saturday?

rats

[struggle4progress]

3. With off-label use, could I grow a unibrow?

[KamaAina]

6. Alas, no

it's for lashes, not brows. :(

[struggle4progress]

13. "Latisse can cause hair growth in undesired places if the solution repeatedly comes into contact

with the skin"
Latisse Warnings and Precautions
http://women.emedtv.com/latisse/latisse-warnings-and-precautions.html

I don't see why I shouldn't go to my doctor and say 'Doc! I have inadequate unibrow! Fire me up an RX for some of that Latisse crap so I can deal with this!'

If he's still got his MD, he's allowed to write off-label prescriptions like that

[KamaAina]

17. I do believe the phrase of the day tomorrow is

"hair growth in undesired places".

[eppur_se_muova]

25. Use it in place of rogaine??

:shrug:

[Rhiannon12866]

8. The contraption that cracks eggs...

:shrug:

[zanana1]

41. How hard is it to crack an egg?

When they show that woman "peeling for hours" I wonder how many eggs she boiled. It takes me about 30 seconds to peel an egg with a spoon.

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. When I find my lashes to be inadequate, I switch to a heavier cat-o-nine-tails.

[Demoiselle]

28. Oh, that hurts!!! The pun, not the lash.

[saras]

32. Eye lashes require a very small cat-o-nine-tails. And tweezers.

[Lasher]

38. Heh.

[SwissTony]

10. The before and after pictures are so convincing...

..."Yes, we managed to get the eye in exactly the same position with exactly the same lighting every time. Absolutely no PhotoShopping. Honest".

[frogmarch]

11. My niece used it and

it worked beautifully for her, without discoloring her eyes or eyelids. She had very short, skimpy lashes, and now they're long, thick and beautiful, and she doesn't wear liner or mascara anymore. She even had to trim a couple of the lashes because they grew too long. She said she didn't use the applicator that came with it. She used the tip of a clean liquid eyeliner brush and just dabbed a teensy bit of the stuff at the roots of her eyelashes at bedtime - one little dab for each eye.

[elleng]

12. Right! May permanently darken your eyeballs!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

23. OMG! I used to make those for my kids.

I had to do them free hand.

[Lasher]

39. But wait, there's more!

Order your four little plastic iron maidens now and we'll throw in the Ketchup Critter & Mustard Monster free!!

This is some funny shit. :D

20. I saw that commercial the other day

and thought the same - WTF?!

[VenusRising]

21. There are some products that do that without the Rx.

26. Capitalism

Breaks down often.
Spare Parts are unavailable.
Most buyers search for alternatives.

[MountainLaurel]

27. Before I even opened this thread

My first thought was "that damn eyelash medication!"

:rofl:

[jmowreader]

29. Not only is it weird and has side effects, it is really expensive

A Walmart circular a few months ago advertised that Walmart pharmacies have this product for $99 per 30-day supply. And once you start using it, you must continue or your new fatter lashes will fall out.

You can get some really top-of-the-line department-store mascara for $20, and a tube of that lasts a LOT longer than a month.

[ejpoeta]

30. but you are only supposed to use that stuff for a certain amount of time.

bacteria and germs ya know. i myself don't wear makeup and could care less about my lashes. but i always wonder if they are just telling people that so they go out and buy more or if it is true about the germs.

[jmowreader]

33. There are preservatives in it now

If you don't share your mascara with other people, it's good for six months to a year.

But consider: if you were to buy a $30 mascara once a month, it would still be $70 a month less than Latisse. And no one would do that--you'd buy one or two a year, if you could tell the difference between the results of $30 mascara at a department store and $8 mascara at the drugstore across the street.

[sammytko]

37. But is mascara enough?

I am blessed with long full curly lashes and people actually comment on them. I think that is weird, but never not having good lashes - I can't sympathize with the non-eyelash people - same with the no adequate boob people - blessed there also. What would I want? - Straight, shiny hair? I can get that with a Chi flat iron.

I know - small feet with cute toes!

31. May cause: Brown eye pigmentation, uncontrollable muscle movements, growing green nuclear squid

tentacles. Tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.

[jmowreader]

34. Squid tentacles? I am SO there!

[sakabatou]

35. That magnetic bracelet iRenew

It does absolutely nothing.
