Baaa-aaaa!

A new diaper brand arrives on the scene. It's a lot like other diapers, but the name is catchy so, with building momentum, crowds of crunchinistas flock to it. For months it's nothing but hype, stalking, and raves. Then one day a single frustrated person creeps forward. What she has to say has been expressed before - quietly, unnoticed amid the excited chatter. But this time the magic is wearing off. When she proclaims, "Uh, this diaper kind of sucks," people are finally ready to hear. And, wonder of wonders, hundreds of other people agree. In fact, most of the devoted fans have been fantasizing about torching their P.O.S. diaper for months.

So how exactly does this happen? Why does it take ages for people to be realistic about their purchases? It's got to be the weirdest peer pressure chain reaction known to mankind.

"This diaper is so hot!"
"It's for sure the coolest thing out there."
"Yes, I LOVE mine!"
"Um, yeah, me, too. That's what I always reach for first. Uh, starting today."

Totally. Except for the part where it took 2 months to arrive, wicks like a mo-fo, takes three hours to dry, and a snap fell off in the first wash. But return emails are kind of prompt and pretty friendly, and everyone knows these are so fantastic that problems are to be expected.

What the frack? We should expect issues with hot items? Are you guys insane?!

Don't be sheep-headed morons, ladies. When something seems a little craptastic to you, don't hang in there because it's cool. I can't believe I'm having to point this out to adults, but if all your friends jumped off a cliff... maybe their shitty popular diapers will save them. You stay put up here on Mt. Reality, voice your actual opinion, and move on to something better.
