So I have heard the advice "Don't go to the grocery store hungry" about a million times... But I never really paid ANY attention to it untill now....
The other night I stopped at the store on my home from work, I needed milk.....JUST milk. I will insert that I was STARVING... so starving that I almost ate Grahams last cheese sandwhich cracker, but I didn't because that is just rude. So I was in the back of the store reaching into the case when they caught my eye
as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted them. I was so hungry that an attractive display of brussel sprouts would have probably had the same effect, ok not really but I could have been taken by anything. But honestly... what goes better with milk then cookies?... and not just any cookie a cool mint oreo cookie! So yes I bought them and ate them and they were delicious. I feel like I was tricked and taken advantage of at my weakest point. Hat's off to you Albertson's for your product placement tactics!
I also want to add that I have not purchased my own bag of Oreos since my freshman year of college when Ashleigh and I tried to eat a bag and and drink a half a gallon of milk all in one sitting... I can't remember who threw up first but it was NOT pretty!
