According to Wikipedia, Whiskey Cavalier is "an American action comedy-drama television series...[that] follows the adventures of FBI agent Will Chase (codename: Whiskey Cavalier) who, following an emotional break-up, is assigned to work with CIA operative Francesca 'Frankie' Trowbridge (codename: Fiery Tribune). Together, they lead an inter-agency team of spies who periodically save the world (and each other) while navigating the rocky roads of friendship, romance and office politics". Whiskey Cavalier has recently been shown on late night TV in Australia.
In the pilot for the series, Will is on a mission when things go wrong. He is staring down the barrel of a gun, but is saved by Frankie. She takes what looks like an applicator tampon from the pocket of her jeans and pulls on the string before tossing it across the room. The tampon is a bomb (of course), and the explosion allows Will and Frankie to regain control of the situation. The next time Frankie gets her period, pads might be the safest option, lol.
This isn't the only tampon reference - apparently ABC America promoted Whiskey Cavalier during its telecast of the 2019 Oscars with a clip that parodies tampon commercials. You can see the clip here: uproxx.com/tv/whiskey-cavalier-review-scott-foley-lauren-cohan-exploding-tampon-abc/ or here www.thedrum.com/creative-works/project/deutsch-abc-whiskey-cavalier-spyvertising (The tagline is "S.P.Y. Tampons: Government leaks don't stand a chance!")
Not surprisingly I guess, the promo received a mixed reception...
