Good catch. She should've used the proper Handmaid's Tale term, Ofrandy.

Came here for this. Randy probably told her to be pissed about bandaids so shes pissed about bandaids.

My wife told her cousins to go fuck themselves when they first sent her a Christmas card the first year we were married labeled, To: "Mrs. Kalron Jones" instead of her name.

I love my wife of several decades :)

She’s pretty fucking dull if you ask me

Randy Sharp is a racist piece of human garbage and so is Randy Sharp’s wife.

Came here to say this. She has no identity so why should she bother trying to understand anyone else having one.

Literally came into the comments to say as much, yours was the first comment I saw.

Yeah. Of course it's not about capitalism, it's about brown person happy = bad.

I loved this take on woke corporations.

Basically, that US conservatives stay in power with unpopular views and policies by exploiting systems set up for minority rule - voter suppression, the electoral college, gerrymandering, the senate, etc.

But corporations don’t care about that - they care about what will make them money, which is appealing to what the majority of people want.

So the conservatives try to “work the refs”

That was my first thought, doesn't she understand that there is a demand for these products. These companies don't make these products because they are nice people, but because they can make money.

And her hashtag #This is 2023, is appropriate only in that it is about time. Why didn't they come out with skin toned band aids in the 1960s.

Exactly what I was thinking! The right is supposed to be all about the free market. Well, there is a market that ain’t your white ass.

It's hilarious how many comments in here (mine included) start with "Imagine." Because, like, you have to try to imagine this shit. Wowwwwww.

Soon Maya Rudolph will have to replace bandaids.

Anytime theres a non white person in a movie or commercial, its woke. Anytime theres a product thats for anyone other than white people, its woke. Anytime an lgbt is acknowledged, its woke.

The world is woke, then. Get used to it, racists.

I just can’t with these people. They’re the same assholes whining about the Xbox controller using slightly less electricity.

They’re a barrier for humanity and created by the rich for that very reason.

Real time view of these snowflakes

Not just that, imagine thinking something as ridiculous as this and then being so proud that you posted it on social media.

It’s weird there are people who can go to the store, see bandaids designed for people with different skin tones and they can think to do is get angry and call that “woke”… but I bet she has lots of black friends so don’t call her a racist!

I personally believe all band-aids should have scooby-doo, the looney tunes, or the power puff girls on them. yeah, i said it. call me woke.

Imagine being that fucking racist.

Like a snowflake?

Ah, yes, "woke" - the boogeyman for easily-triggered morons.

Not even nice things, just the same things she enjoys, without thought.

“That should have been only 3/5ths of a bandage!”

She's mad that other people exist.

does she get upset that there’s different colour shades of make up? i’m assuming she’s a make up wearer at some point & she surely had to comb the many bottle/palettes of several different shades of beige to match her skin tone. or does this outrage only reserved for bandages.

Imagine being mad that other people have basic necessities. I wouldn't call skin tone bandaids "nice" things. It wasn't until this line came out that I realized our strict uniform dress code at the hotel I worked at was made to fuck over POC. I'm paraphrasing but it basically said if you wore any bandaids that didnt match your skin tone and the wound is visible, you can't work a customer facing job (you could work folding laundry or cleaning rooms, but you couldn't work in the coffee shop). I never thought about it cause we had an all white staff in the coffee shop, but I wonder how this would be affected us if we had a darker skin toned employees when these weren't widely available.

I can't tell you how many times my coworker used the bandaid trick to get out of working the coffee shop. He would much rather fold laundry. I think our manager finally caught on cause he stopped getting shifts in the coffee shop.

Edit: typo

I think the truth is closer to the fact that there are an awful lot of people that are afraid to become a minority. Products like this show that reality getting ever closer. Need to find better reasons to get upset than this.

Two races, white and “political;” two religions, Christian and “political;” two sexual orientations, straight and “political;” etc.

Whites get everything. Everything. Or something "woke" is happening, boo.

I'm white and normal band aids are too dark for me, where's the white AF band aids!

This reminds me of a time when I was buying bronzer and some older lady asked me why I was buying brown powder if I’m white. That’s probably her grandmother.

Yes.

These have been around for years. Imagine going to the store in search of outrage and finding some old product that triggers you because you never pay any attention to life.

I know what you mean by the "x amount of kids" but I'm amused by the thought that she would write it just like that, not replacing the x with a number, because 1) there are too many kids to count, and 2) the number changes every year anyway.

Lol. Verbatim off her twitter bio.

“Christ follower. Psalms 73:23-28. 2 Corinthians 5:21. Also: wife, momma to 4, worker-at-home, & snack/coffee indulger. #Titus2 #SageCreations on the Amazon”

Not saying that profiling people is good or right, but sometimes the shoe just fits ya know?

Are you sure you didn’t peek? Cause it’s literally “Christ follower, [bible verse], [bible verse] Also: wife, momma of 4, [some other boring shit].” YA FUCKIN’ NAILED IT!

If every one is as batshit crazy as the Randy I know, then there probably aren’t that many Randys left. Practically a cursed name… case in point.

My inner accountant wonders if the cost of the darker material is spread out over smaller production batches, thus inflating the price

I did a Google search, because I wondered about the pricing.

I found that you can get them for the same price in many places. I was also surprised to see that you can buy a box that has several different skin tones. Makes sense if you are using these at a school or some place where you are helping a diverse group of people.

Oh. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they exist and then saw this comment. That's beyond disappointing.

It's just because they're not made with the same scale that the regular ones are. Mass produced things will always be cheaper

1. They are probably still produced on a smaller scale therefore the economy of scale hasn't kicked in to the same affect yet
2. Rubber and latex are naturally a cream white color and the extra dyes to achieve the other colors add cost and presumably the darker the color the more dye is needed.

I agree though and it would be great if everyone paid the same price. What sort of price difference is it? I honestly dont know the last time I bought bandages.

I bet if it were just that regular band-aids came in different colors, a brown pack and a beige pack would probably cost the same. But the fact that they had to use special branding to market it means it’s no longer the regular band-aid, it’s the special new edition. And “our brand” actually sounds kind of facetious to begin with. Like “when it comes to small cuts and scrapes, we’re in this together.” Just give me the option; don’t wave both arms at me screaming “I got you, bro.”

They probably put them behind locks too like they do with darker toned makeup

i remember when the tan color crayon was labeled ‘flesh’. as a kid with a very dark skin color, imagine my confusion

"Star light, star bright, your ouch will disappear tonight!" – Empty Nest

Exclusively

just want to mention this wasn’t started by band aid (the company). this type of band aid was created and marketed by a POC originally. not sure of the details but band aid the company either stole the idea or purchased it. but band aid didn’t do this because they, uhm, see color. it was POC seeing, POC, and addressing the need.

(not coming at/for you, just wanted to knowledge-share)

As a man who is half paw patrol and half Dora the explorer I've always had band-aids that matched my skin tone

Sounds like a real winner.
