Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you as a concerned member of the freebie world. I’m no business executive, but I do know that in order to stay up and running, most companies need to sell various products for profit. With that in mind, I ask how in the world is Dove still operating? Every time I turn around, they’re giving away endless amounts of samples, like the free Dove Pro-Age lotion.

But it’s not just the fact that Dove is giving away countless freebies. There’s the trend in product names. Pro-age? Isn’t lotion supposed to be anti-age? Is the name supposed to be ironic? Is this a joke I’m not getting?

Some people might think I run a freebie website and develop relationships with the companies so that I can get even more free samples. Heck no! I just want their e-mail addresses so I can ask them what the heck their product names mean.
