Free Shipping

 

    That is the latest buzz, must have free shipping, it's the carrot for the sale.  Sea Salt is another one.  Look on almost any package in the supermarket and you'll see the words, Contains Sea Salt.

    We tend to move as fish with our likes and dislikes.  Individually we announce our freedom of choice, but collectively we turn like synchronized fish.  We all swoop onto the latest craze, believing it was our choice, then quickly change direction, all the while sticking close to the others, as if there is safety in numbers.  (We can't possibly be wrong if everyone is doing it).

    Then, the moment your guard is down someone announces that Gummy Worms may contain actual worms.  There is a scare, a panic races through the community.  Everyone stops buying Gummy worms.  The medical world claims that gummy worms have been known to cause tooth decay in laboratory animals.   Lawyers come up with warning labels.

    Before you know it, there are schools of fish that no longer eat worms.  The fishing industry collapses, unemployment numbers rise, people lose their homes, babies cry, and chaos runs rampant.

    If you ask me, the world would be a better place if everyone just paid for their own shipping.

 

ZC, with my 2 cents
