cookies


The grocery store knows we are willing to pay top dollar for certain cookies, and so, they won't produce store-brand versions. It is a pretty smart route. I really wanted to buy a generic, cheap brand of chocolate, minty cookies. Also known as thin mints. Instead, I spent 4$ on a small package of Keebler grasshoppers. Which are extra delectable when kept in the freezer. I just had to have them, and the grocery store knows this. And so, as mentioned above, they do not sell a cheap version. They capitalize on my weakness. Which is understandable, since they are a corporation.

And then, there are those humans (whom I do not appreciate); those people who capitalize on weakness.
