So I couldn't help but notice that our new box of Q-Tips (I mean cotton swabs that one can compare to Q-Tips), that the instructions on the box come with a big CAUTION!!!!!
Apparently you are not supposed to let the swab enter your ear canal--just gently swab around the outer surface of the ear.
Huh?
That seems a little nutty to me. I mean, don't jam it down to your ear drum, but for gosh sakes, really?
On the bright side the box does say that you can use them for makeup application and blending, touching up nail polish, cleaning electronics and delicate baby care. Also for arts, crafts and hobbies.
Looks like somebody got sued once and our litigious society stepped in to make sure that no new earwax was ever removed, with permission, by one of their swabs.
Shessshhh! Maybe one day someone will sue for deafness attributed to copious amounts of buildup? Don't laugh! ;-)

Didn't your grandma always say "never put anything in your ear that's smaller than your elbow?" Or was that just my grandma? I never took her advice and dig away with the Q-tips.
