Truth in advertising...


While driving around Oklahoma City yesterday (12-16-05), I spotted a gas/convenience store that had a sign/name that indicated EXACTLY what the priority for sales was - beer and cigarettes. Sure, stop in and get gas, but *absolutely* don't forget a 6-pack and some smokes, heh. Can't remember the last time I saw a "Tobacco & Beer Outlet", or is that the new name for 7-11?

I have to give them credit - this is literally truth in advertising. It's not a sunny, shiny store with an ulterior motive (to sell you incredibly high-margin stuff that is bad for you), it tells you flat out what you should be buying. Don't we wish Wal*Mart would change its name to "Buy Chinese Goods Now"?
