Frownies and Wrinkies

There was entertaining fare this week, ind the midst of Everything Else. The WSJ did one of its great features, this one on the closely held company that has been manufacturing Frownies for over a hundred years. Apparently a mention of the product by Rene Russo during a magazine interview has sparked sales. The Vermont Country Store has always carried these items. The Despair, Inc., people, home of the very best in customer disservice, have been dealing in "Frownies" (singular: "Frowny").
