Coles shoppers raise eyebrows over “X-RATED” Mother’s Day Gift — “Prices ain’t the only thing going down at Coles”


It seems like every year, retailers try to outdo each other with wacky Mother's Day gifts and deals that will surely delight every shopper who is on the lookout for great finds.

This year, Coles seems to have taken the cake for having the most bizarre offering after one of the items from its Best Buys catalogue has caused a number of shoppers to raise their eyebrows.



The grocery giant's Mother's Day range — which is available from April 22 to April 28 — is full of great gift ideas, and there's something for everyone.

However, one item has managed to catch the attention of shoppers after it was deemed inappropriate by some.

The item in question is the $49.99 SABA Wand Massager — a little rechargeable massager that comes in two colours and boasts a range of features, including strong and quiet vibration, waterproofing, and a soft skin-friendly waterproof head.

According to the product description found at page three of the Coles' Mother's Day brochure, the gadget "can help relieve pain and fatigue in joints and muscles”.

While the description appeared to be wholesome, a number of shoppers seem to be ‘reading between the lines’ when it comes to the product’s details.

One shopper asked: "Which muscles?"

Wand massagers function to relieve muscle tension, so it is not surprising that the manufacturer included that "narrative" in the product description.

However, it was pointed out that the design of the machine seems to resemble a vibrator.



In fact, a post in an ALDI fans Facebook group even prompted a barrage of innuendo-laced comments from shoppers who were chuckling over the supposed "x-rated" item.

One comment read: “Prices ain’t the only thing going down at Coles.”

“Uhhh, I’ve brought literally the same thing but mine cost $200+ and has a different name,” another quipped.

A third chimed: “People buying this device can do G-rated type massage AND..OMG-rated!”

“Ok but exactly how quiet? Asking for my neighbours!” another joked.

Another said: “Personally, the on switch should be on the other side.”



One user even questioned why the product is waterproof, suggesting that mums don't necessarily need massages in the shower.

Regardless, wand massagers are a great gift to anyone who is looking to release tension from their muscles and joints (and no, this is not a pun, folks!).

Are you looking forward to nabbing one of these wand massagers? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below, if you dare!

Oh for the love of god! I guess you see what you want to see. All I saw was a hand held massager and as a retired nurse who’s seen some almost unbelievable things come into emergency, I’m certainly not naive!
 
OMG, as they say in the classics. Righto, that's it -- I'm never going to shop at Coles any more. They sell avocados and suggestive things like cucumbers and misshapen sweet potatoes. They probably have people on the staff named Richard or John Thomas, too, which is undoubtedly another good reason to ban the joint. No good woman would want to be served (oops!) by somebody with a name like that.

REALLY!!! get a life...this product is disgusting!!! Shame on Coles and all companies that import cheap products from overseas...to unjustly promote products for every celebration season that can potentially further the demise of our planet.

Yes it’s just their dirty minds
The goddess forbid that they ever hear the songs by The Kinks named "Lola" or "Walk on the wild side" by Lou Reed. They'd never be able to face life again!
