Retail Commentary

And now, a dose of retail commentary.

Does anybody else see just a tiny bit of irony in selling pepper spray that helps fund breast cancer research? “Caution: Severe skin and eye irritant.” Yes. And also helps fund cancer research? How many severe skin and eye irritants can say that? I’m looking at you, Dran-o.

I can say without the least bit of sarcasm that I loves me some Reese’s Puffs cereal. I also know the difference between breakfast food and candy, which is why I don’t eat them very often. I bake, so another difference that I know is the difference between whole grain and not-whole-grain. I tell you, whatever twisted logic has been used to put, “With whole grain guarantee,” on this box, what you are eating is, “whole grain,” like Horizon brand milk is “organic.” Oh, there may be a whole grain or two in there, but you’re still eating fucking candy drenched in milk. They even put the Hershey’s logo on there, but they made it really small so you’d still be fooled.
Oh, but the magazine aisle is where I really shine.
