i went to carrefour today because i wanted to buy a box of pepsi ... you know the ones that contain 24 cans ... and it turns out they have an offer ... buy a box of pepsi and get a six-pack for free ... they had this little promotion stand set up far away from the shelves where they normally keep the boxes ... so if someone picked up a box from the shelf instead of the promotion stand ... he wouldn't know that he could get a six-pack for free because there's no mention of the promotion on the shelf ... so that's pretty deceptive of them ... like if you don't walk around every inch of our giant store you might miss out on one of our promotions ... i was almost a victim ... see i went in and i knew where they keep the boxes ... so i went straight over there ... i didn't pass go or collect 200 dollars ... i picked up a box from the shelf and turned around to go to the cashier ... but some nice gentleman stopped me and told me about the promotion stand ... so i thanked him and went over there to collect my free six-pack ...
anyway ... so i get there and here's the thing ... all the six-packs are diet ... it's either diet pepsi, diet 7-up, or pepsi max ... those are your only choices ... well what if i just want a regular six-pack ... why are you forcing this diet shit on me ... but hey it's free right ... so now i have a six-pack of diet pepsi in my fridge that i know i'm not going to drink ... unless it's an emergency ...
