Last night was date night so me and the missus decided to splurge and go to PetSmart to get dog food for Angus before we went to eat. I was amazed at the variety of food-some of which cost upwards of $50 a sack and contained only holistic ingredients. I was getting a bit peeved and suggested tongue in cheek that we just go to Walmart and go the "Uncle Roy" route loud enough for everyone around to hear. But the real kicker was at the end of the aisle. They had a selection of Beta's (siamese fighting fish for those of you who are old school) in their individual containers. I was looking at them and then looked down to the fish food and saw........................Beta Water.
Yes. that's right! Bottled water for fish. 31oz for $3.99. Ready to use, yada yada yada on the label. I looked closely for the ingredients and found none save for a notation that it was pure with no heavy metals and low mineral content. Sounded just line my city water (except for the heavy metal thing
). I was beside myself. I asked the clerk if they actually sold this stuff and she hung her head and said yes. I chuckled and told her she ought to be ashamed of herself. She winked and said yea, but it helps pay my salary.
Capitalism at it's best.
