A market researcher called at a house and his
knock
was answered by a young woman with three small
children
running around her. He asked her if she minded
replying to his
questions and she agreed.
He asked her if she knew his
company,Cheeseborough-Ponds.
When she said no, he mentioned that among their many
products was
Vaseline and she certainly knew of that product. When
asked if
she used it, the answer was „Yes.“ Asked how she used
it,
she said, „To assist sexual intercourse.“ The interviewer
was amazed.
He said, „I always ask that question because
everyone uses our
product and they always say they use
it for the child’s bicycle chain,
or the gate hinge; but
I know that most use it for sexual
intercourse. Since you’ve
been so frank, could you tell me exactly how you
use
it?“
„Yes, we put it on the doorknob to keep the kids out.“
