Ageing millennial Marie has been forced to deal with reality this morning after a bout of congestion saw her exploring the chemist for remedies.
While browsing she noticed a familiar little friend. A friend she hadn’t locked eyes with for many years – the legendary Vicks Inhaler.
We spoke to Marie who admitted that she didn’t even register that the product was exactly what she needed given that she’d never actually used it for that reason. Adding,
“It’s just a little congestion, happens everytime the weather starts to turn. So yeah, I found myself buying a Vicks for its intended purpose. It’s over isn’t it? The last string of youthfulness squeezed out of me”
She was correct. She took a minute to say a quick requiem for her past identity as a social party girl. She continued,
“I think I honestly thought Vicks made these things specifically for people to enjoy while attending DnB gigs with a slight ring burn from the last pinga that went up the Kwan. Now it’s clearing up snot so I can breathe better”
Marie joins many from her generation that must accept that a festival done properly would likely end in an admission to hospital.
Now it’s paint & sip classes and oversized water bottles. In many ways though, giving up that last bit of youthful delusion freed her. All that raving malarkey sounds awfully tiring.
