Red has always suggested the worst, MENSTRUATION, so blue frequently replaced it at least in American advertising. But one ancient tampon defied expectations. Efficiency expert Dr. Lillian Gilbreth ((of Cheaper by the Dozen fame) complained about blue in her famous report to Johnson & Johnson in 1927. Yes, yes is the name of the magazine. No, I don't no why, er, know. Yes, it's all lower case. Yes, I have another example. No, well, yes, there are more examples on this site. No? Like, Yes! Margot van Mulken kindly sent me this ad, one of scores, along with many photocopies, as part of her research for her article "De verpakking van maandverband: De ontwikkeling van retoriek in tijdschriftadvertenties" (The Packaging of of Menstrual Pads: The Development of Rhetoric in Magazine Advertising) in Tidschift voor Genderstudies (Journal of Gender Studies), 2005-1. See another one she sent me, from 1998. Below: My translation: No matter what color I choose I won't see Libresse with transparent wings.
