Oh No: OB No OB really No OB

Again, the civil union blogging must wait. I have heard from the company that makes OB tampons! The news is not good. And, I quote:

"Dear Addi Warrior Princess,

Thank you for contacting McNeil-PPC, Inc., makers of o.b.® Ultra Absorbency Tampons. It is always important to hear from our consumers, and we appreciate the time you have taken to contact us.

Unfortunately, our o.b.® Ultra Absorbency Tampons has been discontinued. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for you. We assure you that your feedback will be shared with our marketing management. Please note that we do not sell our products on a direct basis, nor do we keep inventory of discontinued products on hand for distribution to consumers or retailers. All remaining inventory of this item has been shipped to our distributors.

We encourage you to try one of the other fine products we offer. Please do look for our products at pharmacies, grocery stores and mass merchandisers."

In other words, "You are so screwed. We ain't making this product anymore and stop asking if we have a hidden supply. We don't stockpile this stuff like squirrels. Your hemorrhaging is of no concern to us. Stuff a roll of paper towels between your legs. Stop whining and stop writing!"

Who has time to go Christmas shopping? I have tampons to find!
