I'm pretty sure at five years old I could understand that 'buzzy butt' was related to butts. Not sure I'd particularly care, but I'd get the gist.

u/sunsetgal24 Jan 02 '25

To a 5 year old "buzzy butt" is what happens when they're vacationing on a farm and they get to ride on the tractor for a bit.

They do not at all associate that with sex. At all.

u/Spare-Half796 Jan 02 '25

5 year old me would have thought of bumble bees

u/AeitZean Jan 02 '25
  1. Its called buzzy butt
  2. Its shaped like a stinger

Are we absolutely sure its not bee related?

13

u/GHouserVO Jan 02 '25

First thing my 5-year-old self would have associated it with. Would have giggled about it and thought it was a great name for bees.

27 year old me thinks of bumble bees

Bee movie, clearly

u/SectorEducational460 Jan 02 '25

5 year old me would think it's a butt saying buzz buzz and laugh

2

u/Distinct_Safety5762 Jan 02 '25

Fuzzy buzzy butts!

21

u/ColonEscapee Jan 02 '25

Never been around children apparently. Since when did they associate sex with butt?? Yeah, "butt" is funny to them and anything around it. Pee pee or tallywacker... Yeah it's funny from the moment you know it hurts to get whacked there which is around 3.

Poopy butt!

14

u/Open_Perception_3212 Jan 02 '25

Or maybe farting?

2

u/BoneHugsHominy Jan 02 '25

Or something to do with farting.

6

u/DayleD Jan 02 '25

Exactly! Which means some parent somewhere is gonna stand in line for a prescription while their kid whines for the brightly packaged buzzer.

More than a little awkward, but banning the aisle would be a whole lot worse.

u/sunsetgal24 Jan 02 '25

If we're still ignoring the fact that 5 year olds don't really see the top shelf (and also most likely can't fucking read) then sure. Totally.

-11

u/DayleD Jan 02 '25

That's well within normal variation. I could read at five. Would the conversation happen any differently at six?

16

u/madmatt42 Jan 02 '25

Seriously, you're arguing that, because of your experience, most 5 year olds can read those words easily? Have you ever worked with 5 year olds? Sure plenty can read parts of books, in certain fonts, but they don't get context clues so they might not even be able to tell what those words say. You reading a book at 5 doesn't mean you'd be able to read that package.

-7

u/DayleD Jan 02 '25

Butt is four letters. People forget what it's like to be a kid.

6

u/madmatt42 Jan 02 '25

So the fact that I have recently worked with a kid learning to read doesnt' count.

Hop off your soapbox

u/sunsetgal24 Jan 02 '25

Is there a point to you arguing or do you just like the feeling?

u/Dat_Ding_Da Jan 02 '25

It was not a question. It was an attempt to disguise a terrible argument as an equally silly question. Thus the reaction you are seeing. :)

u/WarDry1480 Jan 02 '25

Deflection? Get a fucking grip.

1

u/Potential-Sound-5233 Jan 02 '25

yeah, but what are you going to answer when a 5yo asks how they managed to get "the feeling of riding a tractor" in such a small box

1

u/Jules-of-Jubilee Jan 02 '25

I would have thought of farts tbh.

1

u/VaughnSC Jan 02 '25

If I were a five year old, I might entertain the notion that butt plugs exist to prevent sharting.

0

u/streatz Jan 02 '25

Okay so let's change that to 12 year old, tall enough to read it, just now old enough to understand, still shouldn't be subjected to dildos and cock suckers. What other 20 excuses will reddit make up to legitimize pedophilia?

1

u/sunsetgal24 Jan 02 '25

A 12 year old should have basic sex education. This includes knowing that some people like to use tools during sex.

The idea that educating children and them just experiencing that sex exists in the world is pedophilia is so mindblowingly stupid that I kinda feel like I should applaud you.

1

u/Historical_Tennis635 Jan 02 '25

Pedophilia what???? Bro 12 is old enough to where you’re taking sex Ed, me and a bunch of friends at that age walked several miles to make homemade fleshlights lol. Describe the actual harm that comes from a 12 year old seeing that a sex toy exists at an age where most are masturbating anyway?

And again pedophilia? It’s in the sexual wellness section should stores not sell it at all??

-12

u/CaveDwellingDude Jan 02 '25

The aisle sign right by it says SEXUAL WELLNESS, it would be hard to NOT associate it with sex.

14

u/sunsetgal24 Jan 02 '25
  1. No 5 year old is gonna read that sign.
  2. No 5 year old has the vocabulary to understand that sign.
  3. No 5 year old has the common sense to link that sign to the products shown there.
  4. No 5 year old has enough context to understand what these names would mean in a sexual context.

-13

u/CaveDwellingDude Jan 02 '25
  1. How could they not read it?
  2. They just learned new words, that's how vocabulary works.
  3. Again, the sign is RIGHT BESIDE THE PRODUCT no linking needed. How retarded were you at 5?
  4. Hopefully they won't know what they mean, but certain groups have made it a danger for public school. It also is a horrible time for a parent to start receiving questions from a curious child.

11

u/sunsetgal24 Jan 02 '25
  1. They don't look up that much. It's not interesting to read.

  2. No, they did not learn new words. Learning new words means understanding what they are. The words "oral sucker" without context are just noise.

  3. You as an adult understand that stores label their aisles so that people can find the products displayed there easily. 5 year olds don't know that, and they don't think about stores in that way.

  4. If you as a parent are not able to explain sexual things to your child in an age appropriate way, that's on you.

I'd also love to know what you mean by "certain groups have made it a danger for public school".

5

u/kasiagabrielle Jan 02 '25

Would you have recognized what those products were at age 5, unprompted? Yes or no will suffice.

16

u/loosewilly45 Jan 02 '25

I'd just be saying buzzy butt giggling my ass off until my mom screamed

4

u/ObservableObject Jan 02 '25

Yeah like... my kid could read this, 100%. He'd have no context for what it means, though, and any guesses he put forward would have nothing to do with sex and instead fall pretty squarely in the "LOL BUTT" line of thinking.

Worst case he would ask, and then I'd just make some shit up like "Dunno big guy, probably something to keep bees away" and we'd move on with our day.

2

u/UomoLumaca Jan 03 '25

Bonus: if you're vague enough, you can dismiss any future accusation of being untruthful or incoherent.

1

u/loosewilly45 Jan 02 '25

Pretty much . they're children they'll believe any bullshit you tell them . I remember seeing a hooker as a kid and asking my mom about it and I think she said some shit like she was getting ready to go swimming or something and I belived her because I was 4 and dumb as shit

1

u/Desperate_Squash_521 Jan 02 '25

She'd scream even louder if you gave the ol' buzzy butt!

32

u/thefirstlaughingfool Jan 02 '25

They're also on the top shelf where a 5 year old would have trouble even seeing them.

12

u/UngusChungus94 Jan 02 '25

Also… can most five year olds read? Genuine question. Pretty sure I could, but I was an early reader.

u/step1 Jan 02 '25

My friend was telling me that his son who is around 5 was reading a xmas card they got for his grandma that said she was a bad ass. He got to the bad ass part and looked at my friend like… yo this is a bad word. My friend was like I know you know what that is but don’t say it. So his kid waited a second and then was like …. Assssssss. Had me rolling on the floor; I don’t know how he could manage to keep a straight face.

u/Theron3206 Jan 03 '25

Your grandma is a naughty donkey?

3

u/Namika Jan 02 '25

You start leaning how to sound out letters and words by age five, and therefore can read, but it takes a conscious effort. Sort of like how any adult can solve the math problem 13x562, but it’s going to take a few seconds and focus.

A five year old wouldn’t just walk past this shelf and instantly know what the words mean at a glance. They would have to look at it for a bit and sound out the letters.

2

u/anyansweriscorrect Jan 02 '25

So uh, these days a lot of kids actually aren't taught how to sound out letters and words. Look up the horror that is "whole word reading" and you'll see why illiteracy is rising.

1

u/PrettyChillHotPepper Jan 02 '25

Multiplying anything by 13 is hard, ngl. Prime numbers above 10 would take me at least 30 seconds, would have to do 562x10, then 562x3, then add them. That's hard maths without paper.

1

u/Rafados47 Jan 03 '25

It's pretty subjective. Some kids can't read until they are taught at school and some can read even without any major effort.

1

u/Jvst_t1red Jan 02 '25

To some extent, yes. Some may be able to read better, but from my understanding most do know how to read at least a little

1

u/exjackly Jan 02 '25

That's when kids should be on the verge of reading simple words if they don't already know a few. Alphabet - yes. Reading full sentences, not expected but possible.

1

u/Gatonom Jan 03 '25

3 years old is typical, depending on interest and education priorities. 7 is where not reading is unusual.

1

u/qorbexl Jan 02 '25

Do these wierdos have the same concerns about Preparation H or Vagisil? It's blandly packaged stuff for butts and privates. Kids literally barely care, just tell them it's boring adult stuff and be done with it. Stop being such goddamned freaks

u/KeyWielderRio Jan 02 '25

That's interesting because you changed the story like 3 times as to what "book" or author you'd read from to sound progressively more believable and less impressive. And you did it from multiple accounts. Lol. Lmao Even.

Weird flex, but okay.

"It's also really horrible and mean to basically imply that if someone didn't have the same childhood as you" I didn't, you seem extra touchy about this one though-- so, yeah, I'd recommend talking to a therapist. You're being REALLY strangely defensive about prepubescent children understanding sex.

That's a weird look for you. Not us.

Bro has replied and deleted his own reply from like 3 accounts now

Something tells me that you're still as smart as you were at 5.

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '25

I’d get the gist

No you wouldn’t, unless there’s some unaddressed abuse there.

Either that or you don’t understand what “get the gist” means.

u/A_Cookie_from_Space the future is now, old man Jan 02 '25

Little kid: "Buzzy Butt? Is that like a toothbrush?"

Mom:

22

u/Orange-Blur Jan 02 '25

I worked in the target pharmacy isle for a bit and one guy came up asking for a spicy toothbrush. I am a grown ass adult and started looking for cinnamon toothpaste until he specified he meant sex toys

12

u/Oleandervine Jan 02 '25

Ok, in what world would someone think that "spicy toothbrush" is an appropriate code word for those toys? Would have made more sense to ask for personal massagers.

11

u/Orange-Blur Jan 02 '25

Right? I told him he should have just asked for the sex toys from the start, save me time. I wouldn’t judge for it either, just point it out and go on with my day. We are all adults here.

Maybe he was doing things with his electric toothbrush before discovering sex toys, who knows

3

u/Katnipz Jan 02 '25

That's gotta be it lol

u/TheDearHunter Jan 02 '25

Wait does Target even sell "spicy" toothbrushes?

3

u/Orange-Blur Jan 02 '25

Yes, I stocked many of them

u/wallweasels Jan 02 '25

You, gravely, overestimate the intelligence of yourself at 5 years old.

Have you...met a five year old recently?

2

u/SLRWard Jan 02 '25

Yeah. At best a five year old would probably just giggle because a box said butt. The fact that it says "buzzy butt" would just mean more giggles.

0

u/A1000eisn1 Jan 02 '25

I'd get the gist.

If you as a 5 year old "got the gist" that it was an anal plug, then you were an extremely uncommon child who was likely either abused or allowed to watch hard-core gay porn.

But it's clear you don't know what "get the gist" means and all you would have known is that it's butt related.
