one of my pet peeves is people who buy into hype and trends. for example, there are people who will only drink starbuck's coffee. i consider them snobs, but if they want to pay $4 for a cup of coffee that to me tastes like they burnt the beans, goody for them. its the same with juices, i think. same with GMC trucks being "professional grade" and pricier than chevy trucks. they are, in fact, almost identical. the list is endless.

snob appeal is strong. put it in a pretty cobalt glass bottle or adorable packages, or make it only available a few hours a week, charge 2-3 times what MBV does, and there will always be people who are conned into thinking it's better. i swear if you could package and market monkey poop as a "must have" product, gullible people would buy it.

just my opinion....i could be wrong.

I <3 my 99¢ Cumberland Farms coffee. It's better than DD's and way better than burnt Bigbucks.
It's also good if I run out of cream when I'm low on dough.
Under a buck for a 20oz light, light, light, light coffee. It almost looks like there's no coffee in it.
Oh no, I did forget to put coffee in it! ;)

GMC vs Chevy = They're both professional grade but chrome won't get you home,
The $$$ you save by getting a Chevy will.

Free monkey poop at the zoo. Duck!

Glad it worked for you... I think. I didn't make it all the way through this post to be honest.

Periods would have helped :)

Yeah, well my mind was not on correct punctuation to be honest with you, so I just continued. Honestly really don't need punctuation lessons as I am aware of that fact, but didn't stop, so it's just one long sentence. Never the less, the content was well meaning regardless of my poor grammar and punctuation omissions. Perhaps this is a bit more appropriate and I will not receive and F as I wasn't ware I was being tested. So hopefully the periods helped as well as the comma's in this one! :p

Can't beat the prices at mbv. Every other place I've got some brand with a name of nicquid for 23+ bucks shipped for 30ml bottle. Sometimes more depending on the flavor. I just need to find all my favorite mbv flavors and I probably won't need to look for juice anywhere else.

But I like my cobalt bottles. I fill them myself, but I still like them :)
