Am I just being a boomer, or do bandaids not stick to you like they used to? (hexbear.net)

I remember back when I was younger, a bandaid might stay on my finger for two or more days. These days it feels like no matter where I put them, the second anything rubs against them they just fall right off. And I’m not talking just name brand shit, but everything. I don’t feel like I have used a decent bandaid in years and they’re always frustratingly bad at staying on. In fact, the idea of “ripping off the bandaid” hurting is not something I’ve thought about in years because they never stay on long enough to have to be taken off.

Please let me know if this is real or I am just tweaking

They don't make 'em like they used to. "Ripping the bandaid off" appearing as a line in a new movie might see weird to an audience.

You're not being a boomer. I had a box of bandaids and they were very old - maybe as much as 10 years. But I've had very old boxes before and although most bandaids had turned to shit - I had at least a few good ones. But in that box - I had ~10 bandaids an they were all shit. Zero stickiness. They were useless. Thanks, Greedy Johnson and Fucking Johnson.
