day 6 of 365


I bought these band-aids last week and realized when I got them home that they have braille lettering on them. This is the first product I've noticed with braille -- and I got to wondering if I've been really unobservant, or if this is a new packaging standard. The curious librarian in me looked it up, and lo and behold, came across this article. Now I want to learn to read braille myself, especially since I don't know what this sign outside my office says. Here's where I'll start.

  1. That is super interesting to me. I think a blind person would not attempt to try to read the band aid box given that nothing else has braille. Why not since everything has multiple languages on the box?
