The night I failed as a consumer

Posted on Friday, November 10, 2006 in Josh Rants

I am not the type of person that sees an advertisement and goes and buys the product. When I am on the internet I barely see ads unless they are particularly obtrusive or annoying (and then I make a mental not to never patronize those establishments/products). But last night I was driving home from work and I saw a billboard for Leinenkugel’s Apple Spice beer and I thought “that’s exactly what I want right now”. I had never heard of that variety before but for some reason it just sounded good. I ended up going to all three of the liquor stores by my house and none of them had the beer! As a consumer I felt very disappointed! I guess the beer is brand new and nobody hasn’t gotten it in yet, but that doesn’t stop Leinenkugel from advertising it. I ended up getting Heineken Dark Lager and I’m reasonably satisfied, but I would prefer an Apple Spice.

On the bright side, when I home I had a package waiting for me containing two Yomenga Raiders modified by Patrick Mitchell. I have several hundred hours of training in double A under my belt, but I still can’t do a single trick. Maybe these little beauties will be what I need to take my double A play to another level. You can’t hold me to this, but if I start getting any good I just might start competing again (jpop anyone?).
