Huggies vs. Plushies

Mom: Michael, please pick up some diapers for me during your lunch break.
Dad: Sure, what kind?
Mom: Huggies
Dad: But I don't like the Huggies, I can never get them on her.
Mom: Well you can't buy the Pampers?
Dad: Why not? I liked the Pampers.
Mom: You liked the Swaddlers. Those are only for newborns.
Dad: Are you sure?

At lunch dad entered CVS and strolled down the diaper aisle. For 10 minutes he stared at all of the choices. Huggies, Pampers, CVS brand diapers, Pull ups, Swimmies, and who knows what else. Then a pink package caught his eye. Plushies. He could buy 60 Plushies for the same price as 40 Huggies. One thing dad knows is that diapers are expensive.

So dad brought home the Plushies. Mom laughed at him.
Mom: What kind of ghetto diapers are those?
Dad: They are Plushies.
Mom laughing: Plushies?
Dad: Yeah, they are made by a reputable company.
Mom: Which one?
Dad: Playschool.
Mom: They make TOYS!

This is when dad decided a good old fashion test would be needed. So he got out the measuring cup and one Huggie Diaper and one Plushie Diaper. One full cup of warm water was dumped into each diaper.




The results? Well it was about equal. Surprisingly the Plushies felt drier. We will find out today after she wears them around. Dad is crazy and a scientist at heart.
