They're New! They're Improved!

Have you seen these "new and improved" Band-Aids?  They now come with a waffled pad, ostensibly for our benefit.

Now, I respect J&J greatly.  And their Band-Aids (registered trademark of Johnson & Johnson, but like Kleenex, often misused as the generic term) are without peer.  Other brands and the generic bandages all suck.  Band-Aids have a magical sticking power and I put my trust in them.

But waffle pads for our benefit?  Rather disingenuous.  It clearly takes less material to fabricate them - they are nothing more than a cost reduction MARKETED as a benefit to us.

I'll still depend on them, but there's no fooling a curmudgeon.
