one of my friends who just crossed SIA got one of her big's a Build-a-Bear with a lettered shirt. it was cute, and i kinda want one for myself.

then again, this is case in point of how big business makes crazy money on super-specializing for their target market. bringing novelty to anything and convincing people that its logical to put down $$ on said product becuase of the vast amount of CHOICE. (ie Jamba juice, Cold Stone, dunkin donuts when it debuted, etc)

hell, this is why buffets and mix-your-own-salad bars, among other businesses, are successful. now customized teddy bears? this is why people get irate when they have lack of choice. i throw a FIT when i cant get liquid sugar in my iced coffee @ dunkin donuts (i know, assinine, right?)

maybe we will get a specialty chain fondue shop and get charged overpriced $$ for fruit and bread on a stick.
