All right! Five whole cents’ savings!

All right! Five whole cents’ savings!
Here are some of my contributions to today’s Twitter meme, #greatquoteswithdear. You can probably figure out how the game works…
As I left for work this morning, I overheard a small child somewhere gleefully exclaiming, “I’m BATMAN!!” over and over again.
PA system: “Thank you for shopping JC Penney, and have a pleasant evening.”
Cynical teenage girl: “Must we?”

Now, I realize this is simply a brand name, probably inspired by the “pure” part of the slogan…but I can’t help but be reminded of the brief fad for clear products in the early 1990s. Remember Crystal Pepsi? Of course you don’t.
Saturday Night Live summed up just how unappetizing this fad really was in two words: Crystal Gravy.
Thankfully, Crystal Hot Sauce is not clear (as you can see!), and actually tasted pretty good.
