How is This Legal?

Both say:
18 fl. oz.
fragrance free
skin protectant
daily moisturizing lotion
with natural colloidal oatmeal
similar bottle, color, shape, text, and even brown leaves
Aveeno is dermatologist recommended while CVS is New!
Aveeno moisturizes for 24 hours while CVS relieves and protects dry skin for 24 hours

Aveeno was $11.99 and CVS was $8.99
Which one did I purchase?

Lost Souls Cafe


Lost Souls in Downtown Los Angeles is definitely worth the subway ride and wandering down an alley. It's really cheap and really good. I especially liked the bread and sauce on my sandwich. You should try it.

7UP Yours

Soda companies are not deceiving anybody, or are they? We all know the reality - drink soda, get fat. High fructose corn syrup will kill you (yes, I consume it too). Well 7UP just needs to accept the fact their product is not a healthy one, and regardless of that reality, people will continue to drink soda even if they know it's bad for them. 7UP has come out with Cherry 7UP Antioxidant with 100% natural flavors. That must be good for me! So how is this possible? Well your soda now contains 10% Vitamin E which happens to be an antioxidant.
Read the label and and decide for yourself: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, and 2% or less of each of the following: citric acid, natural flavors, potassium benzoate (preservative), VITAMIN E ACETATE, red 40. Oh, and 25 grams of sugar.

Are you convinced?

Frugalistas by Target

I've been seeing this commercial for Target the last few days and it's making me want to go shopping there. I think they are trying to coin a new word. Listen up for the term frugalistas!
