Beautiful Nose

I was out shopping recently and stumbled across an amazing product. Thai people are obsessed about having white skin which is why just about everything from moisturiser to antiperspirant to prune juice is sold under guise of a “skin whitening” product. They would also all like to have bigger noses, but you can't get one by putting bleach on your skin twice a day, so for those who can't afford surgery it's an unreachable dream. Luckily, China is on hand to sell false hopes to gullible fools:

That's right, for 78 Baht you can bestow clarity, beauty and happiness upon your little nose by putting a glorified peg on it! For the excited ladies who think this product to their anatomy will make their nose bigger and longer, however, men around the world can (dejectedly) assure you that such hopes are false and the Jiahe Nose Up will not add inches.

In case you're wondering where you might use the Jiahe Nose up, the rear of the product contains fairly poorly translated instructions:

Finally, where did I see (and buy) this nonsensical peg? Tesco of course! They really do have everything you need under one roof.
