Canadians do have a sense of humor!
July 26, 2006
I learned that U.S. Airways had announced it’s intent to place advertising on airsickness bags.
As I researched the story, it became apparent that the U.S. media outlets all are a bit too cautious about how they phrase things, like airsickness bags.
CBS News Canada (CBS.ca) was the only one to call a barf bag a barf bag.
“Barf bags have a lot of shelf life - people aren’t barfing as much in planes as they used to.”
“But having an advertisement for a barf bag, especially if it’s for something like Dramamine (a motion sickness medication), now that’s brilliant.”
Go Canada!
