Short Takes

A Cuffs Link

Oh, the things you find in the Valentine’s Day section of the local Rite Aid while waiting for a prescription refill... Burning questions:
* When did Rite-Aid break into the “naughty” novelties business?

* And when, exactly, did bondage become all the rage among the preschooler set?

WHO DO YOU TRUST?

Meeting and dating new people can be tricky, what with all the weirds out there. Now Vero Labs has a new product out called “Liquid Truth” which may help cut to the chase. It’s a spray with “the pheromones Androstenone and Androsterone” plus a “unique Oxytocin hormone formula together in the same product.” We don’t fully understand the science behind it, but they claim “we've found that people using this new product are prone to being more confident, and that makes a world of difference." Well, we would hope so; a one-ounce spray bottle goes for a rather rarified $79.95. Details are at Vero Labs.com.
