Timeless (!) fairness cream

She was a girl with not-so-fair complexion. Her whole life was miserable. No guy had the urge to scan her twice, even the officer at viva board did not care to look at her, let alone give her the appointment letter.

Then suddenly she found a cream that would make her fair and would help her to face all the difficulties and ensure a fairy tale life. So she goes to a department store to get the cream. She uses it and instead of getting a 'break', gets a nervous breakdown as the dermatologist she consulted says that there is no production date or date of expiry on the product and she is the unfortunate one to use a date expired one.

The fairness cream and other cosmetics (with the exception of some renowned brands) do not have any information about production date or expiry. Sometimes the information is set in a complicated way just to show that some information is there. Girls better watch before they try one, and the authorities concerned should bring the swindlers to book.
