She makes a lot of sense. If my bottle of insulin (I realize it isn't a great comparison) had a little note on it that said. "We hope you enjoy jabbing that needle into your arm, butt, stomach, thigh, etc for the rest of your life. Have a wonderful day". I'd get irritated as well. It's a stupid ****ing thing to put on a maxi-pad. They could leave it off and save he consumer a little bit of money probably.
