flesh-colored Band-Aid (from 1952) [found on Found in Mom's Basement] and
flesh-colored Soul-Aid (from the 1980’s) [found on Found in Mom's Basement, originally from Retrocrush]
The modern clear Band-Aid is the best way to please absolutely every possible skin tone, even those of us with freckles — no point in having boxes of various shades when you can just go translucent!
Of course, the adhesive bandages my kids get with their various vaccinations are all covered with Sponge Bob Squarepants or Disney Princesses or (AAAAAAAHHHHH!) Elmo; since my children are NOT naturally patterned with the latest cartoon character craze, I’m quite happy that they don’t match their bandage.
When I was a kid, I once suggested that Johnson & Johnson should make Band-Aids with freckles.
(I love your freckles, by the way.)
