Improved does not equal good

Yesterday The Spousal Unit brought home half a box of Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies. On the front of the box is the claim "Now Better Tasting". Man, they must've really tasted like shit before.

You know, I've never understood why companies do that.

"Now even better!"

"Now with even MORE cleaning power!"


Seriously, if they knew something needed to be improved upon, why not wait to put the product on the market until it was better?

Party girl, because people are greedy assholes and need instant gratification for their half assed attempts. And besides, things are improved upon, but more fish end up dead when the more hazardous chemicals end up in the river. It takes awhile for the EP agency to catch on. Why do you think they took Lysol off the market?


Now, Phollower, did Sylvia buy them for you just for the mere fact that they said "Now better tasting". If yes, then you guys have a great marriage.
