Facebook is always trying to sell me something. And since it depends on algorithms to choose the items … I have to wonder why it thinks I need organic underwear.
.
.
A free range bra? That’s an oxymoron if ever I’ve heard one.
.
.
High impact? Exactly how much impact do they think my girls experience…
.
.
My car seats do not need a body guard. If I’m man enough to spill a drink while driving? They should just man up and take it.
.
.
Okay, they’ve got me here.
Those are adorable.
.

The search for items to sell at a flea market continues and things are being belched up from the basement at an alarming rate. I don’t know if he’ll ever actually go through with this plan, but he certainly is enjoying the trips down memory lane.
Today’s treasure?
.
.
The 1967 version of an adult party game. And judging from the look on that woman’s face, insufficient martinis were consumed before play began.
.
.
The game is simple. 24 cards are placed on top of the feely box, you draw one… then reach inside to pull out the corresponding item.
.
.
Yes, those are teenie tiny dentures. 1967 sounds like a blast.
.
.
I saw something interesting advertised on Facebook the other day.
.
.
It’s some kind of fruit filled bubble that bursts when dropped in cocktails and I thought hey… that might be fun for the man cave bar. Until I saw they were $25 per plus tax… and $24.95 shipping. Undeterred, I sought them on Amazon.
While I was a bit disappointed they didn’t have the same brand, I was tickled by the imposter bubbles’ name.
.
.
I might have to order them.
I mean really, who could resist?
🤣
.
.
I should have known there would be a price to pay for excerpting passages from a book about sex.
I should have, but the flood of … how shall I say, related products… now polluting my screen is prodigious.
.
.
Mothers Day gift anyone?
😳
.
.
Technically that’s not a sex toy, but the algorithm’s mind went there anyway.
.
.
I really need to be more careful with my book reviewing.
.
.
In Facebook’s ongoing quest to entice me to buy something, I give you this week’s selections.
.
.
I’ve been known to have a random cocktail from time to time. On special occasions. Like Tuesdays. But what I won’t be having again is Absinthe. It’s never been my liquor of choice but a few years ago on a bar crawl vacation in Vermont, we stumbled into a prohibition style den of iniquity pub. Do I remember the name of the establishment or the town in which it resided? No. Because after the devil bartender served me 3 pretty green but oh so deadly Absinthe concoctions I was lucky to remember my own name. Nice try Facebook, but I’ll pass.
Remember how a few of the past product recommendations reminded me of things found in a sado-masochist’s closet… even though they weren’t?
Well, this week it’s a little harder to find the innocent reason for your purchase. Try mountain climbing in this…
.
.
And finally there’s something really ridiculous that proves Facebook isn’t paying close enough attention. We have a man cave… with a full bar.
.
.
A bounce house Irish pub would just be a squirrel attracting redundancy.
.
.
I don’t have an Instant Pot….
.
.
But if I did, I’d definitely want a steam belching creature perched on the top.
.
.
Adult popsicles?
.
.
I’m totally down with that.
.
.
Bubble wrap wine wings? Why not.
.
.
Okay. Now this is right up my alley.
Screaming ‘Release the kraken!’ in the kitchen will now make perfect sense.
.
.
Sometimes you see things that are just…. wrong.
And that’s what I saw the other day. A product that’s beyond wrong and well on its way to horrifying.
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no.
.
.
Ack!
Who in their right mind would purchase this abomination?
.
.
I’m going to have nightmares about this, I just know it.
.
.
Do I need to research Lord Dudley Mountcatten’s family tree?
.
.
I do not. But kudos to the marketing genius who came up with this. I’m sure they’re making a fortune.
.
.
I do happen to be a Rolling Stones fan, RIP Charlie Watts, but that’s a big no on the lips and tongue bottle of whiskey.
And on further examination? It’s a good thing I don’t want to add one to the man cave bar.
.
.
65,000 euro? Holy guacamole Batman… that’s a seriously pricey sip!
.
.
After a very enjoyable respite from Ball Wash ads, I thought the end of ridiculous product advertisements on my Facebook feed was in sight.
.
.
But I was wrong.
.
.
So very wrong.
Big Bang Ball Hammocks.
What did I do to deserve these?
😬
.
.
I had to laugh at this advertisement the other day.
.
.
Interesting? Yes.
More attractive? Probably not.
.
.
But I can think of quite a few people who deserve this home baked treat.

River's world.....
