Wonderbra recalls bra after cleavage plunger pops
LONDON (AFP) - The creator of cleavage-making Wonderbra said it was recalling its latest invention after women complained their bras were snapping from the strain.
The bra, called the Deep Plunge Clearly Daring and made for diving necklines, went on sale in Britain last month, but its makers said it had received complaints that the strap connecting the two cups had broken while being worn.
The company Playtex, which like Wonderbra is also owned by Sara Lee Intimate Apparel, blamed the breakage on a "manufacturing fault" and said it only applied to a small number of products in an early production batch.
The 22-pound (42-dollar, 32-euro) brassiere would be back on the racks in January, the company said.
But it means the design will likely miss out on making an appearance beneath open-bodiced blouses and dresses on show at racier holiday parties this season.
Another Wonderbra designed for very revealing dresses, dubbed the "Deep Plunge Beyond Belief", was not affected by the recall, the company said.
Wonderbra burst onto the scene in 1994 with eye-opening ads starring supermodel Eva Herzigova, promising extra lift and cleavage through a pushed-up and squeezed-in support system.
Heralded as marking the come-back of the cleavage, Wonderbra has since lost some of the media fanfare but continues as a strong seller for Sara Lee.
The US intimate apparel giant also has a hit with its pantyhose Smooth Illusion, which promise to make the wearer's bottom appear five pounds (two kilograms) lighter.
Hmmmm, I will work on it! Its the field testing that really takes alot out of you!
So regardless of what you tell your wives breast size REALLY DOES matter.
:-(
If I still had bigger breasts I would ................. bet on the Giants with the points (10)!!!!
Yoi ....... double yoi
Steelers - 27............... Giants 10
Bummer for the new yorkers!
This will be an ass-kicker for the Stillers.
Put the cash down!
****************
4:30 --- Peterson..........the stiff!
BTTT for no particular reason. :-)
My other question is, what the heck is the plunger used for? Is it like a shoe horn?
(rimshot in the backround!)
Good catch, thanks.
I've heard "girls" and "twins," but never heard chicks call them "boys."
...does this mean you've not seen the king and progenitor of all political-incorrectness, Blazing Saddles? I think someone needs a timeout...
Eva can call them whatever she wants. :-)
I have indeed, but didn't recall that part.
A bra that takes *itself* off? Sounds perfect to me.
