AssWipes!

I know, I know, that’s what Sarah calls everybody. But that’s not what this is about.
We went out walking today. It’s July 4th, and everybody is getting The Mall ready for the festivities today. It’s a hot day. Not the 35 degrees we endured the day we arrived. It’s overcast, but probably close to 30. Muggy, sticky, but not quite melting. There are water stations everywhere, so people can rehydrate whenever they want. 

These 2 photos are more for Steve's benefit. 
I can't believe that they would fence off an area like this for people to throw cans into. Perfectly fine from a recycling perspective, but what about the poor schmuck who has to empty this into a skip in the morning? Why not just put the skip there from the get-go?


Anyway. Water on tap for the great unwashed.
Great idea, and I’ve got another one.
Wouldn’t it be great to have wet wipes to freshen your face and exposed body parts? Like they give you on the plane, but not the hot ones. Cool ones.
OK. That’s no brilliant idea. I’m sure they are available everywhere. Wet wipes have been in KFC for years. But there is a problem with those. Before we left on our walk, we put on sunscreen. Wipe down with a wet-wipe (baby ass-wipe) and remove the sunscreen. Then either re-apply sunscreen, or risk burning.
So that’s my idea. Have wet wipes with sunscreen impregnated. Even insect repellent as well. Sarah says there is already a wipe to apply tanning lotion, but that is not what we want. We want to be able to refresh in the heat, and also reapply suntan lotion. How cool would that be?
Some sunscreen would resist being wiped off, but many don't. Also, it makes a great applicator. Easier to apply to kids. Just like the tanning wipe Sarah knows about, these would be fast and give even coverage.
AND BE REFRESHING!
I know, it’s probably been done. I just wouldn’t mind some right now. They should be for sale everywhere in this heat. Serious profits to be made. Serious.
What if there were wet wipes with your favourite perfume impregnated? Or aftershave?
Stay refreshed in summer without losing the cologne from this morning. So many possibilities.
