Natural and Organic ~ Hah

July 31st 2008 15:22
The use of the term, natural and organic or simply organic is used as a marketing ploy to charge extra money for relabeled goods; it's gotten to be a joke.

One more organic water melon, apple or other fruit and I'm moving into the Watchtower with arms. There's not enough duct tape in the world to keep my brain matter from exploding over this issue.

Brain games to exercise your gray matter, range in price from free to I hope I can finance this gear. However, why not read a book, take up a hobby, learn to dance, beg on corners or run for political office if you are so inclined. All of it’s good, provided that you don't label it Natural Organic stuff and want me to handle the bill so that you can steam clean some natural n organic glacier. Crap, that's what the sun and global warming is supposed to do, not you.

I am waiting for PC and Nintendo manufactures to tout their new products as being constructed from new and improved natural organic recycled plastic like substances we can’t really identify. It’d be a hit on the left coast and in Colorado I’m sure.

When I go into a large retail store with a -mart in their names, I just know that I’ll find some odd commodities for sale there. Natural, free range, organic chicken eggs ensconced in their natural fiber containers on sale for $2 more than their unnatural cousin's, caged, organic chicken eggs.

Or natural, free ranged, organic meat stuff touted to be drug free; just how many drug addicted, mad beast infected organic slabs of meat are roaming our landscape anyway?

My sock are 5% natural organic cotton and may or may not contain 95% synthetic fibers contaminated with lead, mercury, or other toxic residue, but still costing me extra money because they’ve got natural and organic verbiage on their labels.

Should I see another can of natural organic bean, soy milk, coffee, tuna or political pundit ~ someone is gonna get hurt. It’s so bad for me, that I am going through markets looking for the unnatural products, they’re cheaper and appear to be the same as those relabeled goods sporting the natural and organic icon.

My raven senses quiver when I consider laying out up to $500 for a program to help make me smarter or am expected to pay huge bucks extra for a relabeled product saying that it is natural and organic, consider this: for half of the amount of your favorite brain game, Raven Enterprises can send you a life time supply of natural, freshly dried, organic Alaskan smart pills or mental floss.



Natural and organic costs extra, my butt.

It's sort of like the bottled water craze, Raven. Buying it gives you a "good feeling", a lighter bank account and nothing else. Personally, I like the "natural, organic" tomatoes. The ones I grow in my own back yard and fertilize with Miracle Grow!

That is one thing that I miss, a large garden outside of a green house.

Thanks SL, nice to have you drop by.

I'm planning on selling invisible brain games so that your friend and family won't know, I do hope you're home to read this, must be chilly on those street corners but I hear your tapping is doing well, and reading while you do it, HELL, that's some feat feet feat, my friend, and all to the Hallelujah chorus, can you fit in a tambourine somewhere, to keep the Sallies happy, I'm just off with my piano to do some busking, purely classical, of course, and it certainly pays much more than adcents.

Can't wait for my invisibraingames (we accept credit cards ) to take off.

What do you mean you can't see it, of course you can't, but that just goes to show how much you need them, would you like the annual subscription or the more expensive monthly one?

Raven, wait'll you go shopping some day and your eye catches a bottle of "organic air" and you turn it upside down only to read "BOTTLED IN CHINA."

Don't bother opening, breathing and God forbid! inhaling the stuff without at least three face masks!

One of these days the local hippies working the "natural food stuffs" store or "peoples' market-schmarket" in the UMass student union will be hawking Tofu imported from China that's nothing less than good ol' toe-jam. So much for the old silk trade!

Darn katyzzz, so many choices and so little time, whatcha got in the way of Organic Natural brain strain games? The more expensive the better, it'll keep my yuppie friends at bay for a while.

I suspect your invisi-games will sell well, if your can find them long enough to deliver them to your customers.
