This is a question Annoying words and phrases

Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Oh I understand
The process of making nivea for men culminates in a produced product. But the product is and should be, called nivea for men. Not a 'product'.

hahah
What the hell is "Nivea for Men"? :D

Is it near "Kipling for People" and "Cow & Gate for Babies"? :D

But it is a product.
Just like it's a thing. And a cream. And by Nivea.

Etc.

true
but by that very definition, anything within reason is a product. I wouldn't go into a shop and ask for 'products' I would use their actual names. So if someone asks what products you use it could mean anything. My gripe is the word specifically relating to skincare and all that shit that I'm sure you see in heat magazine and such like.

Well I don't read Heat magazine so I wouldn't know.
I think that's the solution opportunity.

And we all know that bricks form walls
Rockets can fly over walls. And there is an "I" in team. It's the "eye" that we keep open for low hanging fruits.

Good luck in asking for Nivea for Men - it's not its actual name
Anyway, fuck skincare - what has skin ever done for us, eh?! :D
