It is crazy when you consider the things that people know about you. People, maybe that is the wrong way of saying what I am trying to say. Corporations - ? Not really sure. Anyway, the information that is captured about each of our buying habits is crazy. It is also big business in marketing and allows for a more personalized approach to marketing.
Here's what happened. Proctor and Gamble have in there records that I am not a purchaser of Old Spice. I am not opposed to Old Spice and like some of there clever advertising like "You're here because your grandfather used Old Spice..." I just find it funny. Anyhow, I opened the mailbox this morning and found at the back of the box a package. In the package was a stick of Old Spice deodorant and a salutation that read "dear non Old Spice wearing guy..." I was rather moved that they would think so highly of me that they would send me a stick of, oh, wait, it is an antiperspirants deodorant. Turns out they really don't know me after all. If they did they would know that I don't use antipersperant. That stuff irritates my skin something fierce.
Well Old Spice, you almost had me this morning.but alas, I am holding out and holding strong.
