Interesting Observation, Cry SHORTAGE
Or have the manufacturer downsize or reduce workforces only to see his profits dwindle even though he cut quantity and quality of items.... This marketing ads the Wall Street advertisers blitz at us tell us to buy more more MORE and the best is the name brand but not generic, yet they both come off the same lines and are having standards to meet, just that brand X is considered sub par to a Skippy Brand. Anybody ever do a study on how the Marketing people hype their ads to sell the products to the gullible Consumers?
