Yes, yes, it’s a bogus spoof article. The thought of recycled pacifiers entered my head and I ran with the idea. I turned the product names blue and underlined them for extra effect.

That it may be difficult to distinguish between real and fake products is a testament to the absurdity of the baby product market. I concede the need to identify future spoof articles with a disclaimer. I’ve only written one other spoof, the baby puke T-shirt.

My apologies to anyone who felt misled.

Okay, are these real products because some of these sound unreal…and there’s no link on them.

Or did you come up with these crazy ideas yourself? Because then we might have to play fame or shame and, unfortunately, I can see people actually falling for it.

AJ proves it again. 98% of the reason why people buy baby products is clever marketing. I loved the lines about neonatal incontinence and how studies show if you don’t use the baby bullhorn you are risking a speech delay. Excellent work!
