I never post from work. But I'm sitting here going over invoices and I hear another buyer, who's just gotten a CEO of some company on the phone, ask him, "OK, I'm baffled. Can you tell me exactly what is 'fun' about your 'fun pack'?"

I love my co-workers.

Overheard at Trader Joe's a few days ago -- "Some woman just asked me if we have any organic water!?!"

[lizallium.livejournal.com]

a woman called the co-op i work at last week & asked if we carry any water with hydrogen in it.

did you see that Zaqua is its own fun pack?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

that rules.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

some kind of chocolate, I think.

[chitinous.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate fun pack" is completely redundant. You can't improve upon the perfection of cacao products, and his company must be totally hurting to even try.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

exactly. I only heard one side of the conversation but the other buyer was saying things like, "no, I don't see how that's 'fun' for either adults or children". and "It's navy blue on dark green. Those colors aren't fun."

[chitinous.livejournal.com]

Hahahahah! Navy blue on dark green?? SNOOZEFEST!

I am so sad this converstation was not recorded for posterity.

[marialuminous.livejournal.com]

I've always wondered that... did you get an answer?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

he was still on the phone. I'll ask tomorrow.

I am reporting this post to LJ_abuse for contributing to the stereotype of the humorless co-op worker.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

hey, everyone around him was laughing! besides, I love hearing companies try to define or defend their lame marketing.

[sparkle-shortz.livejournal.com]

Hey next you should sic this person on the makers of Fun Tac, and then those special Halloween-marketed FUN SIZE candy bars.

[dairryiere.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I klnow who that was, that's hysterical.
And yes I am posting from work.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

It was actually CH not TH.

[dairryiere.livejournal.com]

I actually thought it was CH because he seemed to be in a extra spunky mood that day and I could just imagine the condescension that would have been in his voice.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

but couldn't you hear the utter bewilderment in TH's voice saying the same thing?

[ilipodscrill.livejournal.com]

TH isn't smart enough to say that sentence.

Have you seen this (http://www.yelp.com/biz_details/c/5NvXIkNdCCqUb235WVfMJg/c/c/)?

I think I might purchase this fun pack. I want consumer experiences where my fun is assured and only a foregone conclusion. I demand it!
