Ha! My only guess is that there must have been some statistical significance , like maybe people are twice as likely to even answer and maybe they get paid for just reaching a human with or without acquisition. But, yeah …seems like keeping loyal customers would be at least as important as finding new ones, but like the music industry, seems like it’s all disposable, “single-serve” as Tyler Durden put it. Wow…did I just quote a fictional character?

You should seriously consider making a podcast of this. I would be a loyal listener! And you have a perfect voice for it too. I think you could probably make a living out of it. At least make a sequel to this!

I’ll tell you what’ else is worth exploring as a “business of lies”…the nutrition lies we are fed! I could rant on that one.

“the nutrition lies we are fed!”

I’ve been thinking a good idea for a video project would be to walk up and down the aisles of a grocery store and point out the lies on pretty much every product there. (Although I’m pretty sure you’d get kicked out before you could get much footage.) Or a “public art” project - put sticky notes on every lie. And yes, I consider a package three times the size of how much ‘food’ it contains a lie, as well as all those containers with recessed bottoms. So that’s probably eighty percent of everything in the store right there, without even getting into the nutrition lies.

Haha…yup. There’s a scene in a movie called “the perfect human diet” where a doctor takes a tour through a grocery store and points out some of the problems. Yeah, I wonder how they managed to pull that off.

Too bad that app “stickybits” is no longer around. It enabled users to leave virtual sticky notes on products through barcode scanning on your phone.

Thanks, Martijn!!

Thanks for the samples…they rock!!
