Knock Offs

When you see a name brand watch or golf clubs very cheap you have to assume that they are knockoffs. If you decide to purchase one of these items you accept the fact that they will most likely not perform the same or last as long as the real product. I never dreamed that there is knockoff suntan lotion.

Unfortunately there is and I got burned....literally. I always buy SPF 30 and have never burned while using it. Yesterday morning I purchased a tube of Banana Boat Sport 30 and applied it generously. I waited under the cabana for about 30 minutes before going into the sun. Wow....did I get fried and I really didn't spend much time in the direct sunlight. I checked the tube this morning and noticed that there is no expiration date or lot number stamped anywhere on it.

This morning at breakfast I was speaking with U.K. Matt and he saw my legs and commented on the burn. He said that he also got burnt and mentioned that if he uses suntan lotion he never gets burnt because he has a darker complexion...but he bought some Banana Boat from the store close by and got fried...we checked his container and it was similar to the one I purchased and had no expiration date or lot number.

It's a mean world out here kids and we have to be careful.
