The Holocaust and Periods

I was recently "Krogering" and had an enlightening experience. Krogering, by definition, is when you shop at Kroger grocery stores. If you didn't know that, then you're not alone. I only recently acquired this knowledge from a very informative sticker I received at the end of my shopping trip.

Giving me a sticker when shopping is a guaranteed return shopper in my book. If Wal-Mart had the old men with smiley face stickers still at the door, then I wouldn't have had to turn my back on them and go to Kroger.

However, I was very disappointed in my recent Krogering experience. Perhaps I have been spoiled by the Wal-Mart / CostCo mentality of having whatever bizarre item I need at my fingertips. But I don't feel I was asking anything unfair of Kroger. I mean feminine hygiene products are used by roughly 50% of the population right? So why wasn't there a single tampon to be found in the entire store?? I think Kroger is under the old-fashioned belief that like the Holocaust, periods were made up by 'the man'. I am here to tell them otherwise.

They did redeem themselves in the 60-90 year old demographic though, with an unusually large selection of Incontinence items. They even carried these stylish Depends.


I call them Depends for Homies. (Yes I'm aware that's not how it's pronounced.) I think that older people still reserve the right to have a boxer type underwear stylishly showing just above their baggy pants if they want to. And these are the perfect solution. Purchase them for your elderly, ghetto loved one during the next holiday...even if it means there isn't shelf space for my 'lady time' nonsense.
