Happy Thanksgiving! Not that you would know it here. It doesn’t exist. Not only does it not exist, but also people seem to think that it is a very strange holiday without too much purpose. Others think that any reason for a holiday or celebration is good. I will be having a “Thanksgiving meal” with a group of people on Saturday but I don’t think there will be any turkey at the restaurant. Sigh!I was walking down the chocolate aisle in the grocery store, (yes, I can hear your disbelief) when I found this chocolate display. There were two sections of the same chocolates. The only difference between them was that one pile said on the wrapper, 15% gratuit (free). No big deal. Right? Wrong. The pile with the 15% free was priced 15% higher. Go figure.
