Who the hell still buys Russell Stover?
Come on, the chocolates are terrible.
Like, that giant box of mystery chocolates? To paraphrase Jim Gaffigan, “Oh no it’s filled with toothpaste!”
There are plenty of cheap chocolates that are way better than RS.
When I was checking out, the cashier was wearing a tag that said
“I’m dressed casual in support of the United Way.”
Had he not been wearing that tag, I wouldn’t have even noticed what the fuck he was wearing.
But I got the answer to my question:
The people who still buy Russell Stover are the same people who want their cashiers to dress like they work in a soda pop shop from a Rockwell painting.
