Sucked In!

My sister Kelli is queen of getting sucked in by marketing ploys. And she freely admits it! Whatever commercial it is, or fancy display in the store, she totally takes the bait. Well today, I must admit, I gave it to one. I paid 20 cents more for my 8-pack of soap simply because the name was "Marathon". It was the same brand - I think it was Zest or Dial. But instead of choosing "mountain fresh" or "clean scent", I chose the "marathon" variety. I just couldn't resist! And besides, as stinky as I am after running 10 miles (or 3 miles for that matter), I rationalized that perhaps the "marathon" strength would help! :)
