It's fucking soap people and we know two-thirds of your costs are in advertising.

Yeah, I've noticed that, but I've stuck with the standard yellow Dial. Ivory just... doesn't feel right. Besides.... Ivory? Seriously, you think Proctor & Gamble gives a fuck about you? If it's not the size of the soap, they'll let you have it some other way. If you really want to teach them a lesson, drop out altogether and make your own.

Brand loyalty is a two-way street... this is our products not being loyal to us.

Absolutely! that was another one on my personal list I forgot about... :mad2:

I have lost virtually all brand loyalty for those very reasons. Look at the size of candy bars.

You guys are right! Remember the Cadbury egg thing this year?

Ivory is cheap and meaty, but it wears away faster, IME. I am going to start buying stuff from local crafters, I think. I mean, if I have to pay more anyway, why do I want mass produced crap?

Shawnee123 05-22-2009 04:39 PM

I think Ivory floats because it's full of air bubbles, isn't it?

Anyway, I can't (or won't) use anything but Dove...so whatever size they make it, I'm stuck.

SteveDallas 05-22-2009 04:49 PM

What Cadbury egg thing?

Starting about five minutes ago, LOTS of things.

MB's manager...one of MB's cow orkers...the thought of going to brunch by myself, again (no thanks)...and generally, not seeing much of MB for weeks and weeks, because of opposite schedules.

Why is it that if one lazy, idiot server throws dishes and silverware in the trash; then suddenly, everyone else must stay an extra hour and a half, count all the dishes and silverware, and do punishment cleanup duties?

It's bullshit, I tell you.

Shawnee123 06-22-2009 11:07 AM

Lying assholes who just can't seem to stop fucking up and then playing sad put-upon person. Fuck. That. Shit. Grow up and smell the coffee, shit or get off the pot, write a poem or SOMETHING. Your neediness is boring and spineless. You know who you are.

How come every time I buy a CD the case is always broken?

Undertoad 06-22-2009 08:54 PM

The price for less durable plastic is 9 cents per unit @ 100,000 units, as opposed to the 14 cents per unit* for a more flexible product that is also nicer to the touch. The customer won't know until they get it home and unlock the secret optical 3D anti-piracy code strip which, as we know, has completely prevented CD piracy. The customer will then have a CD case with a little sticker-remnant goober on the outside, to remind them not to pirate the disk, or value their physical purchase in any way.

*i lied, i don't know the actual costs.
