The frustration that marketing brings to us is evident in all
things, not just food. It seems many simple good things are taken
away, then returned years later under a fancy name along with a fancy
price tag. Athletic shoes are the worst. Yes, it looks like in order
to get what you want these days you're going to have to learn how to
make it yourself. While you're making the caramels you miss and can
no longer find, I will be making my own shoes out of a truck tire and
velco straps. Just kidding, but I am stressed by shopping for
athletic shoes for my pounding walks. It's like if you find something
you like and you've got the cash, you better buy a bunch of it and
rent a locker somewhere to store it because you can bet your ass it
won't be there next time you go looking for it.
