Thanks, Huggies, for Sucking
Monday, January 21st, 2008Has anybody else noticed that out of nowhere, without warning or acknowledgment, Huggies stopped making their regular diapers with the stretchy tabs?
For months, I forked over the extra money to get Huggies. The Target brand were decent diapers, but those stretchy tabs on the Huggies were simple miracles of modern science that made them fit better and prevent leaks more efficiently. So despite my decidedly cheap ass, it was more than worth the $20/box for Huggies vs. $13/box for the Target junk.
But now, the tabs? They don’t stretch. If I want Huggies with stretchy tabs, I have to buy the premiums. No thanks. My name isn’t Rockefeller. I’m buying the store brand now, and that savings is going to add up. In fact, after 150,000 boxes of diapers, I’ll have saved over a million dollars. And then I will buy Oklahoma, and you’ll be sorry.
