I know there are two outside Paris. We took my wife’s parents back to her dad’s hometown this summer and because I don’t feel comfortable with driving 5 hours to the west coast after flying overnight from North America we usually try to find a place to stay near Paris. We discovered our hotel would be about a half-hour’s drive from the Costco southwest of Paris and we joked about driving there after checking in so we could troll friends and family on social media that our first meal in France was a €1.50 Costco hot dog. I would be genuinely curious to check it out sometime if we ever had the time, just to see what’s the same and what’s different.

I have a strong preference for Dobie Pads, and found their version inferior
How well did they work if she still became a mom, though?
Is the birth control sponge still available?
Yes. Though the birth control sponge was taken off the market in 1994 – and again in 2008 – it was reintroduced for a second time in 2009.
Why was the birth control sponge discontinued?
The birth control sponge was introduced in 1983, but was discontinued in 1994 after FDA inspectors discovered bacterial contamination at its manufacturing plant. The sponge reemerged in 2005 under new ownership. The new owners promoted the product and then sold it to another company – a business that went bankrupt in 2007. A new distributor picked up the birth control sponge in 2009, and the product has been sold nationwide since then.
That case of sponges Elaine found might’ve been dangerous!
Yes, but I think the headstone comment is relating to all the products killed by Google, often referred to as the Google Graveyard, a term that’s been around since at least 2013. Nothing to do with Google being evil or not.
It seems they offer it for €1.50 in Europe, too!
They’ve been killing good products for well over a decade
I got hit with a frying pan when we were trying to replace my wife’s mother’s non-stick pans that were starting to flake. My mother-in-law is legally blind, and after we gave her the new pans she showed me the old one, saying, “look at it, it’s perfect!” My response of, “it’s even worse than she said!” was the wrong thing to say to an elderly woman holding a pan.
I have always found Pepsi sweeter than Coke
Username relevant?
Peanut butter, jelly, and mustard?
I have some friends with the last name Raper. The oldest brother was able to make an account on Hotmail that was firstnamelastname@hotmail. A few years later I was with the middle brother when he tried to setup the same for himself but was told it had disallowed words. Although he used his middle initial C in the attempt which put “crap” in the username, I don’t think that was the disallowed word.
