Summary

[You’re listening to a preview of this month’s Product Recall, available exclusively on our Patreon. To hear the full episode, join us at patreon.com/forever35.]


Come on over to our pad… our Stridex pad! Doree researches the grossest of ’60s and ’70s commercials to tell Kate how Stridex equally attacks both teenage boys and girls with their beauty culture ideals, how the product can also safely be used on both canine and feline acne, and why it’s making a comeback today.

tradition for these product recall episodes where one person is the researcher and the other

And it is stridex pads. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Okay. Okay. I'm okay. I have chills.
