People use them mainly to clean their ears, but you're not supposed to stick them in your ears. Doctors recommend not to. So why are they still being made and sold at stores when you're not supposed to use them?

There's multiple uses for Q-tips. The fact that some people use them for inappropriate tasks shouldn't be an excuse to stop selling them, especially so long as demand exists.

What else would you use to stuff glitter down your urethra?

They can be used to groom flower petals so they are more symmetrical for photographs.

I've used them to put on eye shadow. :)

Maybe they should quit making and selling vehicles because of all the bad drivers that kill and injure hundreds or even thousands of people horribly every year. But it's not going to happen.

And then there's the alcohol that people consume that leads to many of those deaths and injuries. Should alcohol be banned? Not gonna happen.

Guns? Forget it. :roll:

Some people go swimming, and they drown. Maybe nobody should be allowed to swim anymore.

Stairs. I just know one day I'll fall down the stairs and snap my neck. But we still have stairs. If they were all turned into escalators I'd likely be more afraid to use them. :oops:

I assume this was so you could feel like a unicorn by pissing sparkles?
