I was in the store today and had to buy some sour cream.  As I grabbed it, I glanced down at the price, and noticed that it was on “special”.  Lucky me.  The price sticker said, “10 for $10″.  What?  Who in the world needs 10 tubs of sour cream???  And what if I just want to buy 1?  Do I just have to do the complicated math in my head?  Or is it like the sodas at the gas station which are 2 for $2, but 1 for $1.50?  I don’t know.  And if they really are $1 each, why not just say $1?  I would understand if they wanted to spur me on to buy a little extra at this special price, maybe they could price them at 2 for $2.  Or maybe even 3 for $3.  But do they really think by pricing them at 10 for $10 that I’m going to hoard 10 tubs of sour cream before they go back their normal $1.25 price?  Can anybody even eat that much before they go bad.  Actually, I think sour cream is so gross that I probably wouldn’t even notice if it did go bad.  I saw the same tactic at HEB with their 2-liter drinks.  They had them priced at 5 for $5.  So I bought 5.  Oh well, I guess it worked that time.

And have you seen the new G2 version of Gatorade?  It’s like light Gatorade, with only half the calories of the regular stuff.  I tried some and it’s ok.  It just tastes like Gatorade with about 1/2 the flavor.  But of course its the same price at the full flavored stuff.  Then I had a breakthrough, very similar to the guy that invented penicillin.  I left a cup of the full flavored Gatorade in ice sitting on the kitchen counter overnight.  When I got up in the morning, all the ice was melted and I took a drink of it.  Hmm…. this taste is very familiar.  It tastes just like the new G2 Gatorade!!  I’ve discovered their secret recipe.  I can’t post it on here for the fear of getting sued by Gatorade.  But, for those of you are are considering buying the G2 stuff, you can make it yourself for half the price.  Just email me for the recipe.
