Marketing Skills

On a recent search for some rum extract, I ended up on Amazon and was quite amused by the marketing skills of McCormick and/or Amazon. This is the info given:

Rum Extract - 16 oz. Jar by McCormick
Product Features: Delicious
Product Description: McCormick Imitation Rum Extract may be substituted for small amounts of rum in a recipe.
Nutritional Information: This product has no significant nutritional value.

Uh. Sold. Why wouldn't I buy a product whose one feature is Delicious?!

"Literally"

We all have noticed that people overuse the word "literally" and use it wrong.
Example: "After today's run, my legs are jell-o. Literally."
Um? Really? What flavor? Because I could go for wild strawberry with fruit in it right about now.

I saw this recentley and all you Mormons out there may get a kick out of this painting entitled Lehi's Dream...

...literally! For all those unfamiliar...Lehi was a prophet and usually something entitled "Lehi's Dream" would be a picture of what he dreamed about, not of him actually dreaming!

World Compliment Day

I was told that March 1st is World Compliment Day! In honor of that, I would like to encourage you all to go out there and tell someone the things you think but never say! Tell someone they make a mean bowl of oatmeal or that they have a real talent for painting toenails!

And anyone reading this deserves to know, you are absolutely brilliant for reading my blog.
