magidDriving home Friday, I passed a pro-vegetable truck, which encouraged people to "toot if you like beans". Musical fruit, indeed.
I went to Walgreens, and by the register, I found I could buy giftcards. Not just for Walgreens, which made sense, but for Toys'R'Us, Pier 1, some local restaurants, etc. Is it only me who thinks this rather odd? Or is it just that it seems beyond lazy to be able to buy all sorts of different gift cards in one location? I mean, it's not like you're buying a gift that requires much thought or any wrapping.
And while on the consumer side, there seems to be a new candy form out there. I had to stop to figure out that they're not chocolate-coated Pringles, but a variety of different candy bars mutated into Pringles shape and stacked in a short cylindrical container. Just... Why?
