When going through the checkout at Dollar Tree, I saw this:
For me, this raises 2 questions:
1) Do people actually buy pregnancy tests for a dollar? Do they trust them? Regardless of the result, I don't think I'd feel any more confident about my state of affairs after taking the test than I did before.
2) Is this really an impulse item? Are there really people who are checking out, see a pregnancy test, and think "Oh right! I've been meaning to get one of those."? Has anyone EVER forgotten they meant to buy a pregnancy test? Does pregnancy cause loss of attention span?
My friend Lauren suggested that maybe people buy them to give as gifts. That's the best explanation I've heard so far. Any other ideas?

The dollar store pregnancy tests are exactly the same as the ones a doctor's office uses. There is absolutely no reason to buy one that costs more than a dollar, and if you (general you) can handle the proselytizing, you might as well go to a crisis pregnancy center (fake clinic run by pro-lifers) and use THEIR pregnancy test for free!
