Actually, I'm fricking shocked they didn't do that twenty years ago. It seems like a good way to take market share away from your competitors. Makeup companies figured this out and make about three thousand different shades of lipstick and don't just stick with "Street Whore Red".

ETA: frick Curad.

I buy Welly bandages bc they’re the GOAT bandaids but also bc they come in cool colors. I prefer getting a cool color instead of trying to match my pasty skin with a gross beige/pink bandaid.

Black skin is probably easier to match in many cases and I’m surprised this hasn’t been done already. Even jet black bandaids would look fine on black people but would look dumb on me.

Related, black people have a much larger variety of clothes they look good in. No way my pasty arse can pull off certain peach and pastel colors. Even white doesn’t look great on me but looks real good on black people

So, if I wear a brown band-aid, will that be cultural appropriation? I get pretty dark in the summer.

I really just need a bandaid to cover the wound and sufficiently stop or slow the bleeding.
I don't give a runny shite what color the damn thing is.

This has been going on for years and there is nothing wrong with this.

Plus if there is a market for it, let them sell it. This is a stupid thing to get riled up about.

Will I be appropriating culture or supporting the cause if I buy black band-aids?

It is much more complex than that.

It works well for Amazon to have "billions" of SKUs but not so much for "Baw's 5 & Dime" New Roads.

So if I’m white, and I wear a black one, does that make me racist? Or does that make me woke?

Will they sell mixed packages so the black customer is prepared whether the bo-bo is on the palm or the back of the hand? Or for the millions of mixed race couples as represented on TV?

Will one color be more expensive? Or will they raise the price of all colors?

How many shades on the spectrum? Will they go all the way from mocha to deep purple?

Yeah but will Walmart lock up the black ones?


They’ll put them outside on the sidewalk so their customers don’t have to come inside to loot them.

How is this not stupid. I’ve never once looked at bandaids and said “this is my skin tone”
