Kevin’s Kodak Moment: Total Rip-off.

While wandering through the aisles at my local Walgreen’s, I was surprised to find some small boxes of cereal in the vitamin section. Upon closer inspection, however, I realized they weren’t misplaced at all. What you are looking at, people, are pre-packaged packs of vitamins with the Total and Wheaties brand names slapped on the boxes.
That’s right. These are the same vitamins you can buy and separate individually – and at a considerably cheaper price – sealed in a nice cellophane pouch that you can take with you anywhere.
Ah… what we won’t pay for convenience…
To be honest, I’m a bit of a hypocrite, here. I’ve often sneered at the bag of pre-sliced, cracker-sized cheese in the dairy aisles, only to find myself taking them on long trips in the car. (However, there’s something to be said for not cutting the cheese in the close quarters of a car on a family vacation… so perhaps I get extra points for consideration, right?)
