The world would be a lot better place if everything came with a little treat.
You can have an inflamed urethra, as a treat.
A mini snickers “in there” would probably give you a UTI
Tbf I’ve never seen “treatment” shortened to “treat”
At least put a period at the end to show it’s abbreviated.
It’s that you can eat the paper after the test.
Doesn’t the package show the three lollies that are included?
There is a treat *wink wink*
I also thought that…
And the reason, I think, is simple. Product names are usually nouns, not verbs. So when I see “treat”, I think of “a treat”, not the act of treating something.
It should be “UTI test + treatment”.
I initially thought it was a treat (like some sort of jellied lolly inside or something). However, the word “treat” could be used in a verb sense, as in “to treat”. It is 100% not clear though.
I think they shouldn’t have told them and waited for the inevitable box shaking and “what no treat?”
You’re right.
This is why you’re probably not in marketing design.
I’d say there’s no need to change the wording, just instead of saying
UTI test
+ treat
I’d say
UTI
test + treat
Would be clearer
“Maybe the company isn’t from a country where English is the main language, that would explain the odd terminology,” I thought.
Winx Health is an American women’s health company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Oh.
Americans are some of the worst at their own language, so it’s not at all surprising they’re not from elsewhere.
Sigh, me too
Reminds me how several years back, the Calibre ebook reader software added a feature called “Polish ebooks”.
I thought it’d automatically add some random Andrzej Sapkowski and Stanisław Lem titles to my library. Nope, it was just a feature to clean up messy document conversions, apparently.
Ah yes, the UTI test with included “we are harvesting medical data to sell it to data brokers so you also get to have the benefit of maybe medicine if our online “doctors” feel like prescribing it”
and/or: huh, subject appears to be pregnant.
Better sell that info off to the red state they live in, in case they try to order abortifacients or take a vacation soon.
[flips package around]
… wtf, the treat is asparagus?
What is an UTI test?
Urinary Tract Infection test, maybe?
IDK much about UTIs other than it makes women pee their pants, I’d fail the test methinks
Women get more UTIs than men as they have shorter urethras, so infective agents are more likely to get all the way up the urethra without being pushed out by urine
OK, it’s a match.
You test for Urinary Tract Infections by lighting a match?
That’s how I test for gas leaks.
You test for Urinary Tract Infections by lighting a match?
Once, when I suspected a urinary tract infection, I just went to my GP to get it tested. That is the big advantage of living in a civilized country with a working medical insurance system…
Urinary Tract Infection test? Just guessing.
