You will not want to kiss these boo-boos
Is there anything as sweet as comforting your kid after a scrape with a smooch, a kind word, and... bandages with pictures of bloody eyeballs, dismembered fingers, and centipedes crawling out of skin? CMP covered the original Scabs Bandages a few years ago, and now they've got fancy new packaging and five new designs, including darker bandages to match darker skin tones. Dare I say they're even more disgusting now? In fact, the one with maggots, spiders, and peeled-back skin actually made me feel erp. (Because I'd spent the morning in urgent care and was more squeamish as a result, not because I'm a wuss. Ahem.)

My daughter and husband raided the tin and put the bandages on every which way, laughing with grossed-out delight. It's not like I'm eager for a boo-boo to happen, but now I know the next scrape will be pretty easy to help my kids deal with--because there's no way what's under the bandage can be as gross as what's on top of it. -Lexi
The new Scabs Bandages designs are absolutely, awesomely disgusting.
