So I'm at the checkout line and I see a box of gummy bears. I wanted it. But it was $1.49 (PLUS TAX) for the box. I could get (2) bigger bags in the hood for a buck. A BUCK. ONE DOLLAR. But I ended up coughing up two bucks for it.
Look how big the box is:
It takes up more than half of my keyboard. I'm thinking sweeeet, more candy for me! And do you see the triangle to the bottom left? Fat free, bitches! Could life get any better? I submit that it cannot!
But!
I open the fucking box and this comes out:
A little fucking bag that is no bigger than my stapler. I gave up (2) bucks for this. And look closely...where the fuck are the rest of the reds? Why is there 9,000 oranges? I don't like orange, ok? Cut the shit and hook me up with more reds. Why don't they make bags that are filled with red and green gummy bears? Only red and green. That's the kind of world I want to live in.
The person/machine that filled this bag is an asshole.

Cruz you are too cute.
*ahem* In the most "I can't believe you actually shop there even if it's for gummy bears but that in itself is the cutest thing ever except for the fact that Dingy Pinky Loved them too but then again, what didn't she Love that involved you? anywhoo, that's cute" way. :D
Yeah, orange always sucks as a candy flavor, unless of course you twist it up with mango or something.
But c'mon that box was SO equipped for the cinema confection stand.
Look at it.
With the "sneak preview" window carved out front.
You knew that was a rip-off waiting to happen!
Lol. Go by weight my friend. You can't go wrong with the good ol' "balance it on your head and deduct by half a gram of paper and plastic packaging".
Never fails.
What's not to believe? What's not to love about that store? It's awesome. I always pictured a door that said 'Beyond' and it'd lead you into another dimension or something. But then the creators of Family Guy stole my idea. Bastards.
I'm a sucker for big boxes! lol
lol... i feel you my friend... gummy bears are the best...but im more of a sour patch fan now... i decided to go with the more adventurous bears! lol..
luv ya!

yeah, I share your pain. That is such a ripoff. I would have had a full out gummy bear war on my desk. And theres nothing wrong with B&BW. And whats wrong with orange? Gummy Bear discrimination. They all taste the same if you eat them upside down. Try it. The blood going to your head makes everything taste like pennies. :]
What a loser. Don't try it. The blood going to your head and the sugar floating around in your saliva makes things taste more like blood than copper. You'll develop a twitch every time you look at gummy bears thereafter.
Not that I tried it or anything.
Well in this case the orange taste like some type of cough syrup I've had in the past.
ha. misleading marketting. the biggest chapter in the stories of our lives if you asked me. besides music. but even that has its moments.
Life in general is misleading
I agree with you. But besides the whole bath and body works thing, all retail stores that offer little candy and snack items near the check out for your "convenience" are crooks. I learned that the hardest way possible while shopping with sashita at tigerdirect on a trip to ft.laudy. Snatching up a featured 2gb memory card and rechargeable battery pack for our mini vacation last minute while checking out was costly. Its like they put the priciest and most needed products out next to the register to refresh your memory and wipe out your wallet. Marketing tactics are devious. And you usually would never pay that much for them but since theyre "conveniently" placed. hogwash :]
It's funny because when I snatched the bag of gummy bears from you and opened the box I felt bad taking them because there were so little in the bag, but I must agree my friend you did get cheated!
Oh and sorry for eating one of the red bears!!!
