Marketting

Oatmeal. Oat meal. A meal of oats. It's like they weren't even trying.

And I am not a piece of toast

In celebration of the good people who buy everything they eat at the low, low price of $6.99 a pound, I had two soft-boiled eggs for breakfast today. I overcooked them, but they were still delicious.

This week at Whole Foods ...

... I saw someone buying two hard-boiled eggs from the salad bar: $6.99 a pound. I wonder if a nerd has already done a cost-benefit analysis on the most costly items in the salad bar as compared with the cost of the item outside of the salad bar, time of preparation, etc.

Hard-boiled eggs would fair poorly in such a calculation, but I think Jell-O is probably the least economical purchase one can make in a salad bar.
