The newsletter top product
Figure [1]: The pack of nasal pacifiers

Michael The "Newsletter Top Product" of this issue are the nose pacifier from Biore. Nose pacifier? Huh? This is what happens when a couple lives abroad for years and doesn't experience any corrective influence in their daily language use: they invent new German words for things they didn't know before. What do you call sticky patches that you stick on your nose to pull out blackheads from your pores? See, you probably don't know a word for that either. The French company Biore offers these practical patches here in the USA, which you stick on your moistened nose, wait ten minutes, then peel off and admire the blackheads that have been pulled out.

Fact is: Every now and then, you get a pimple on your nose. It's annoying and painful. But if you stick a Biore nose strip on every two months and effectively remove the blackheads with the inherent Biore super adhesive, it won't get to that point. Good mood thanks to Biore nose strips. If only I were on the Nobel Prize committee ...
