Marketing's Misunderstanding

First of all, I believe that the average size of a chip bag should be more than 1 oz. and more along the lines of 5 oz. Second of all, whoever thought that 'fun-sized' should be smaller thought wrong. When I think 'fun-sized' I think 'lotsa fun.' Fun-sized should probably be between regular and King sized candy bars, maybe even bigger. One thing they've gotten right is Town & Country's 64 oz purchase for 20 cents less than a normal 20 oz bottle of soda. Right on. I also believe that cans of coke should be upgraded from 12 oz to 20 oz immediately, because when I purchase a canned beverage, I believe it should last longer than a few seconds, but more a long the lines of four and one-half minutes. If they think want to be able to sell more products in a smaller space of time, they should hire Billy Mays to do their commercials, because everyone knows Billy Mays. Therefore, both the companies and Billy Mays will benefit.

Blind, but Expected

I always wondered how certain people could be in a situation and not see what's happening, especially when the problem is obvious. Now I know how easy it is to be that person who doesn't see what's happening. I can't believe how blind I can be at times. I try to believe in the best of people, but it appears to be to the point of being naive. I grew up learning to be the kid who learned his manners, did the good deeds, and put others before himself, so I just thought everyone else was that way, too. Nowadays, I know that not everyone is good, but some people make mistakes. Others choose to make those decisions, though.

It's really hard to learn something about someone, especially if it's someone you hold in high respect, that you really didn't think they'd do. I, like always, just thought that this person was a good, honorable person who strived to prevent making decisions that aren't classified as good. When I first heard about it, I thought they mentioned someone else, but then I realized it was actually that person whom I respected.

After a few experiences this year, I've wanted to be given the ability to see through things and beneath the surface of other things. I wish I wasn't so blind at times. I speak highly of these people only to find out they aren't anything like what I thought. It's disappointing to go for such a long time of being friends with someone just to find out you don't really know that person at all.

Don't be blind. Think thoroughly about things and actually open up and talk to the person so you can find out who they are.
