Highly susceptible to the power of advertising


Walking home from lunch with my sister, I ducked into Walgreens to get something sweet to tide me through Friday afternoon.  I really wanted a 69 cent Twix bar, but in effort to be more virtuous with  my chocolate, managed to walk out of Walgreens with a $3 bar of Hersheys “Extra dark with cranberries, blueberries, and almonds,” which advertises itself as “a natural source of flavanol antioxidants.”

It was not even that delicious.

  1. Now I want a Twix.

    Or two.

    Sorry that the chocolate sucked. That’s the WORST.

    Oh man. That’s a drag. But hey, your oxidants didn’t like it either. That’s good, right?
