With only a few days left before the Labor Day long weekend kicks off, a lot of Garden State residents are making plans to head to barbeques, the beach, the golf course - and the malls.
These days, there are specialized products for almost everything. And if you're a new parent, there are many thousands of niche products for your newborn. But this product that I spotted when shopping with my sister this past weekend kind of grossed both of us out. Take a look:
