During a recent snuggle, my husband said I smelled good. I told him that was my new deoderant, something called Tropical Paradise. He looked me square in the eye: "I've been to a tropical paradise. It's called Viet Nam, and trust me, you smell nothing like it."
Funny, yes. But it got me to thinking of some methods used to entice us into buying certain items. Toilet paper is famous for using babies and puppies - neither of which typically use t.p. Auto insurance, (you know which one), employs lizards and cavemen; again, neither of which need car insurance. For whatever reasons, it seems to work.
When I go to the store, be it department or grocery, I deliberately look above and below the 'eye-level' items, because those are the ones they want you to buy.
Let's just say for the most part, I'm not buying it!!
