No one ever pretended that shopping for anything is a ration

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that shopping is often driven by irrationality and impulse rather than practicality. It highlights how peculiar and seemingly unnecessary items like Fluffernutter sandwiches, laceless sneakers, porkpie hats, and Chia Pets exist precisely because people's shopping decisions are often influenced by their whims and desires. By questioning the rationality behind these products, the quote highlights the humorous and unpredictable nature of consumer behavior.
