Drink two on the way home - problem solved!
I like cheese. Do you like cheese?
An old vaudeville act. Haven’t seen it since 1992. Who used to do this? Carlin?
What a great country we live in when this is what upsets our day.
Well, there’s always the Democrat Party. Their policies and reality don’t match either.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?
I clipped my dogs’ toenails today.
[Steve Martin as George Banks, in Father of the Bride, fixing the problem his own way:]
Store clerk: “Sir, what are you doing?”
“I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don’t need.”
“So I am removing the superfluous buns. Yeah. And you want to know why?! Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public! Because they think the American PUBLIC is a bunch of trusting NIT-WITS who will pay for everything they don’t NEED rather than make a stink!”
“Well they’re not ripping off this nitwit anymore. Because I’m not paying for one more thing I don’t need. George Banks is saying NO!!”
It is all a marketing tactic, and a brilliant one at that. (with the exception of the refrigerator example that is probably just a space engineering issue). Let’s say you buy a ten pack of hot dogs. You have to now buy two six-packs packs of buns to have a bun for each dog. When you eat all your dogs, you have four buns left, thus putting a subliminal thought in your head you need more dogs because the pattern is incomplete..and so on..
You’re supposed to put the two extra cans in the freezer so they get cold real fast. By the time you’ve consumed those two the other 10 will be cooled by the refrigerator.
If you’d read the memo when it was distributed you would know this.
Clearly this is just another attempt to force Americans to adopt the metric system through social engineering.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS SHOWS THE FAILURES OF “FREE MARKET” CAPITALISM. WE NEED CENTRAL PLANNING!!!!
So, tell me, Rabbi, why are Hebrew National Franks seven to a pack, yet hot dog rolls are 6 or 8 to a pack?
You're supposed to find the Greatest Common Factor. Buy 5 packs of hot dogs and 4 packs of buns. Voila, 40 dogs and 40 buns.
6 beers, two hands, and one mouth.
So you bought the wrong refrigerator, did you? [smile]
A box of 50 (or 20) only 'makes sense' when you have a 10 Round Magazine. And what do you do if your handgun has a 15 round magazine????
The refrigerator makers are just a little ahead of the game.
You know how they reduce sizes and weights and charge the same price. What used to be a 16 oz package is now only 15 ozs but you still pay the 16 oz price and so forth.
Pretty soon a 12 pack will only have ten cans, you’ll be paying the same price, but it will fit in your refrigerator.
