Marketing

After eking by on the diapers I brought with me from California, I finally had to buy some here, a terribly expensive enterprise and rather unnecessary, since my son is mostly potty-trained.  I found myself instinctively reaching for the pampers brand, rather than trying something I'd never heard of. My son also somehow recognized this brand, pointing to the monkey design on the diaper and saying "These are the Elmo diapers." Pampers in the U.S. usually have Sesame Street characters on them. That the ones in Europe do not is somehow reassuring, as if even in the age of mechanical reproduction there can still be somethings specific to place and time.
