Today's senior moment

[Bill in Oregon]

Didn't have my readers on and managed to brush my teeth with cortisone cream instead of Crest. Tasted kinda bitter-bland, and now my gums are numb. Knew this would happen sooner or later.

[Pitchy]

Oh my goodness sake`s Bill, do ya have your shorts on backwards too.

[piller]

Could have been worse. Preparation H. Ugghhh! Bleccch!

[stretch]

I almost did that with Desitin in my 20s.

The smell fortunately warned me in time.....

Years ago when I worked for a certain household and personal care products company, we received a call from a frantic woman wanting to know if our silicone shield hand cream was or had spermicidal properties!

As a kid, my mom would make me 'cinnamon toast' (toast with butter, and cinnamon, and a bit of sugar or honey). One day I was late, the bus was honking, and I grabbed the toast and ran to the bus, taking my first bite of the double-toast 'sandwich' once on the bus....only to find out she had grabbed the Paprika instead of the Cinnamon.....

A friends girlfriend was learning to bake, his mom was teaching her to make oatmeal raisin cookies, somehow cayenne pepper was mistaken for cinnamon. Not one to waste homemade cookies I ate me share!

Oh and Bill if you used AIM tooth paste you would have known just by the color you had it wrong.

When I was a teenager I saw Mom was hiding chocolate from us. I ate the whole box. Was a different brand than usual though ex lax

As a kid in Scouts, we took a fairly long hike and when I was back my butt was galled. At home I used athlete's foot cream instead of zinc oxide.....

[JNG]

Piller is right. Years ago I was running later for work. (in my F.D. 4 lates in 12 months you could be fired) Anyway toothpaste tube was close in design with preparation H.
Don't do it!!! ruined the whole day. Could not get the taste out.
