jenakers (843.6 days ago) I HATE to burst anyone`s bubble but, the did an expose on products that donate nothing for the cause and wrap all of their products in pink. MOST of them say it`s to promote awareness. The worst offender was a swiffer sweeper that said money goes to the cause BUT, it was 1 cent and you had to present a coupon in order for your penny to go to the cause. If you want to buy these items because you financialy want to support the cause, I`d suggest taking a good look at the fine print on the package or just donating directly to the cancer society.

shesxchaotic (843.7 days ago) I think it`s nice that they have so much out there but there are alot of other causes that are quite prevalent and don`t get anywhere near the recognition.
blondie9504 (843.8 days ago) One of the guys at work, his mother passed away 3 years ago from breast cancer. He wears a black shirt that says in pink `Real men wear pink` And it has the breast cancer sign on it. I love that shirt! He is only 24 years old but when he wears that shirt he holds his head up high!
blondie9504 (843.8 days ago) My Grandma has cancer (in several different parts of her body) We are REALLY close. Ever since I realized that she might not make it, I`ve been buying anything with the pink ribbon on it. It`s not any more expensive than the regular stuff sooo... Before all of this I hated the color pink. Nothing I owned was pink! Now I have chip bag clips, braclets, magnet for the car, baby toys, all kinds of stuff. I even bought Mike`s Hard Pink Lemonade for the breast cancer awareness (they do it once a year to raise money for it) And I don`t even drink lol. My SO ended up drinking it! Do you do this, or am I just absessed? I guess it's a good thing I had a girl lol!
