Pacquin Hand Cream
Merry*Christmas.
Well, since Stephen is on vacation, I'm left with no other choice but to fill in for him with the stories that I think he would have had on his show if he was actually working this week.
I'll start off today with one of his favorite topics - pharmaceuticals and by that I mean health and beauty aids. There is a cornucopia of hand and body lotions out there for the American consumers to buy. They're okay. However the best one out there is no longer out there. Well, one or two jars are out there. Today there is a 4-oz jar of the Medicated Pacquin Hand Cream on ebay for $75. Why $75? Because Pacquin Hand & Body Cream has been discontinued. I'm assuming the Pacquin product line was bought out by Johnson and Johnson, and then Johnson and Johnson discontinued the product. Back when you could buy Pacquin Hand & Body Cream in any corner drug store, the price was in the $5.00 to $7.00 range for an 8-oz jar!
So, what this means is that Stephen should have Prescott Pharmaceuticals purchase the patent for Pacquin Hand & Body Cream and start making and selling it. With his name and picture on the jar and with the very loyal consumers who are just begging for this product back, he could make hundreds and by hundreds I really mean millions of dollars.
Pacquin Hand and Body Cream needs the famous "Colbert Bump".

Thrilled to find this. There is an ongoing forum on Amazon about Pacquin's. Many, many folks want to see it come back. I'm going to refer this post to that group. Maybe we can get Stephen to give it a bump!
I totally agree! Stephen, please PLEASE be the MAN and "BUMP" Pacquin Hand Cream! We're dyin' here!
There is a whole group of Pacquins fans on Amazon blog. Please Stephen help us. You'd have a lot of woman with soft hands loving you. :)
Stephen, please consider this. It is a huge mistake to have taken this product off the market. Johnson and Johnson purchased it and then promptly dropped it. They have no idea what a stupid thing that was to do to a wonderful, unique product. Ther is no other like it.
