We’ve found it – the weirdest headline of the year
It doesn’t matter that there’s slightly more than five months of the year still to go, or that August is considered silly season, because nothing that happens from here onward can beat this headline from Forward online magazine, spotted by Emma, who shared it on Twitter.

Wait …what?
Apparently, inspired by passages from the diary of the young Jewish woman who died in a Nazi concentration camp, referencing how wonderful she felt about having periods, sustainable sanitary product start-up, Daye, is producing tampons laced with reportedly pain-relieving substance CBD, although they don’t mention the Anne Frank connection at all on their website.
People were understandably baffled.
They're making *spins wheel* CBD *throws dart* tampons, inspired by *draws card* Anne Frank https://t.co/JhXNHdQGlD

The "Yes," implies this is the answer to a question. I can't for the life of me imagine what that question was.

One person thought it might be the start of an awful trend.
Years ago, I saw a parody poster on DeviantArt of some Disney Anne Frank movie and now I am certain it will be real.

For the love of Pete, nobody breathe a word of this to Disney.
