I'm not on the pill, but I label my Tic Tacs with the days of the week. Makes me feel like I'm in a relationship.

In this stand-up line, Ladman uses a mundane object (Tic Tacs) and the ritual of labeling them like birth-control pills to joke about loneliness and the desire for structure. The humor comes from the incongruity: a practice associated with sexual activity and partnership is repurposed for candy, suggesting a life where even small routines are recruited to simulate intimacy. Beneath the punchline is a wry observation about how people seek the emotional reassurance of “being in a relationship,” sometimes through symbolic habits rather than actual connection. The joke also plays on self-awareness—she knows it’s absurd, which sharpens the comedic sting.
