rename the product.


when i see this product, i turn the little foot into an "I" in my mind - so it's the Ped-i-Egg. maybe it comes from Ped-i-cure.
today i came up with a new name - Ped-i-file. hey - it DOES file!! but then, i decided that it was not an acceptable name. I think Two Pretzels mentioned (months ago?) that it looked like a cheese-grater, and she is absolutely right.
but, honestly, when i think of using it on your feet, i then think of shards of heel sprinkled on a salad (like you would with cheese).
and i just dry-heaved.
see....this is how my mind works.

ever since Two Pretzels description of this, I am totally grossed out every time I see it at the end of the grocery store aisle. Just what I want, to be shopping for food and see the pedi egg. Or however its spelled.

I'm feeling sick as I type this.

The worst part is on the commercial when they empty the shavings. Yuck, I hate picturing it!

Every time I think about this I puke in my mouth a little bit.

(I have heard from a friend that it works well. Again. Puke.)

Yeah when they empty the nasty two part egg into the trash can and all the grated foot pieces fall out I def. dry heave! Sick nasty, who thought that was a great piece to add to the commercial?

They do need to rename it. Egg? Barf.

Now, I have used it and the "shavings" look like sand, which does not remind me of cheese or anything else disgusting. Better.
