Walgreen's email ads are sometimes weird

I've written a few times or more about the power or powerlessness of advertising and product placement. I received this advertisement in an email because I'm on their email listserv as a willing participant from Walgreens. I just thought it was funny on the mix of the products they put in this ad.

I would like to think they had some kind of theme for the email blast but I'm not totally sure. I was thinking it was about summer, the beach and the like. I guess it follows that theme...sort of. You got your sun care products, your sunglasses, baby and children toys and then...what? Sexual wellness? I guess that could be a summer beachy thing.

The sky is on fire

I hate salt water!

On the beach in Ft Walton Beach, Florida. Been in the water and I must say that I still hate salt water with a passion!!

No jelly fish so far but the current is rough and the seaweed is like floating shrapnel. I'm thinking I could have seen this at Galveston Beach.

I guess I shouldn't be so bitter. A few more days and maybe I'll be more accepting.

Now back to the water!
