Don't have a lot of time today, so lets cut right to the chase.
Gripe O' the Day: Cosmetic Youth and/or Rejuvenating Creams. What a crock this stuff is. How long has some quack somewhere proported having a magical substance that could reverse or stop aging, keeping people young? Ponce de Leon ring a bell? Fountain of Youth? I can only hope that in three hundred years, the words Oil of Olay will sound just as farcical and silly.
It seems like every three months some cosmetic giant comes out with some new discovery in anti-aging technology. They sell these little miracles in the form of bottles of inch-thick glass containing 2 tsp of mysterious goo, for upwards of $50, and make a killing at it. My gripe basically is this - - they are either A) Selling a product that does nothing different than the one they sold five years ago, or they are B) Selling the exact same product they sold five years ago, but putting some new pointless peptide in there, and giving it a new name.
Nothing ever changes. These 'new technologies' have not even come close to solving the age-old problem of aging. I have never read a headline even close to 'Woman Bathes in Oil of Olay for One Year: Stops Aging Completely.' To sum up, I don't think the creams work. If they did, there would be no reason to reinvent them every three months, or improve them. They are a rip off. My consolation: my beautiful wife has never bought any of it. Nor will she ever need to. Age is also a form of beauty.
