“Whatever It Is I Think I See…”
The New York Times today says the recession seems to have a sweet tooth. Candy sales are soaring and adults in particular have been consuming growing volumes of Necco Wafers, Mary Janes, Gummy Bears and the like. This means either people are feeling nostalgic and want some yummy treats, or they are curled up in bed depressed about life and the doom and gloom of everything having to do with the economy that’s in the media every millisecond. (I hope the second option above is not the case.)
Media; Can you just back it down for a second? I’m trying to enjoy my Tootsie Pop!
It’s not just candy that we are loving. We can’t seem to get enough of all things that remind us of the good old days and childhood. Check out this gourmet peanut butter cafe’ called PB Loco. Absolutely brilliant and what fun. Can you imagine the smiles you’d get if your job was to serve peanut butter everything to people all day? Really. Peanutbutterlicious?! If this can’t start some good ideas brewing in your head, I’m not sure what will. PBJ’s for a living? These guys are genius!
Clearly we learned everything we ever needed to know in kindergarten.
I’m off to meet with my 5 year old neighbor to see if he can give me some business tips…
