Yes, "Buy 3 for the Price of 3." Kwik-E-Mart has, in the words of the probably-not-so-immortal Ricky Ricardo, some splainin' to do. Comrade X stared at this sign in wonder for probably a full minute, trying to figure out if he'd missed something. Yes, that's how much of a grip capitalism has even on him! 3 for the price of 3? Do they mean 3 things for the price of three OTHER, less expensive things? 3 for the price of 3 WHAT, exactly? Or perhaps they put that banner up because:
1. They contracted out to an advertising agency that hates them and wants to make them appear stupid (as if the name "Kwik-E-Mart" didn't do that already).
2. Banner manufacturers don't get the finer points of capitalist price competition.
3. The owners of Kwik-E-Mart recently had brain surgery which didn't go so well.
4. It's some kind of high school prank (personally, Comrade X hopes that this is the real reason).
5. Perhaps "3" is the name of a product and you can buy three of something else for the price of the product named "3." (Yes, I realize that this is really a stretch.)
6. Umm ...
7. Oh, I've got it! I hallucinated the entire thing!
3 for the price of 3. Oh, that's a "special deal," alright.
Fucking hell! What kind of world do we live in, my Comrades? Exactly -- a retarded one.
