What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA popular anti-aging cream has been recalled nationwide, Reader's Digest reports. Vera, Brock, one hot take each, and I'll rate them HOT or NOT.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that the cream finally worked, because it made the whole product disappear and nobody looks a day older on the shelf.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLukewarm. The jar is gone, the wrinkles are not.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistMy take is that a front is moving across every forehead in America tonight, and I name it Cold Cream Gerald.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGerald?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHe's a slow mover with a lot of moisture.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. It's the cream's problem, not the barometer's.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNow my final take, and it's the hottest of all: if a jar promises to take ten years off your face, the recall should take ten years off the price.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, I see a bottle on your bathroom shelf in that rant.
