Mtn Dew

Obviously I have been intensely preoccupied with school, so I thought Hey, why don’t I blog about school? Because if I keep waiting for life to happen, or another Fail Ad to come my way, cybersyrup is going to end up in Wherever Blogs go to Die in Cyperspace.

Therefore in theory, you can call this entry inspired. Because I got inspired to blog about school, right? Hah.

Anyroads.

I was sitting in my Marketing class today and we were discussing what marketers can do in times of inflation. People brought up strategies like adding more value to your product, etc (It’s really only ‘etc’ because I wasn’t paying attention). One girl then said it might be a good idea to offer the option of paying for your product in installments. Professor MAR showed the first real signs of life all morning and vehemently agreed that it was indeed a good idea. For some unfathomable reason, this exchange I heard loud and clear and actually paid attention to (Or, the Mountain Dew finally kicked in). The cogs in my brain slowly chugga-chuggaed into motion and I thought Hey! Inflation? Instalments? Instalments during times of inflation? What about Interest rates? Inflated interest rates…?

Yup, it was in that exact order and lack of coherence. (Don’t judge, it was 9.30AM and who thinks in full sentences anyway??)

So I decided to be a jerk and rebut her point. I also decided that I should do it nicely.

This were my exact words, “I’m just wondering tho… if during times of inflation, the interest rates would also, you know, be higher than it would be normally? And would that put consumers off? If they were to buy a product and pay for it in installments, it’s going to cost so much more…”

The professor looked at me and mumbled somethingorother. Clearly I didn’t catch it because I was basking in the afterglow of having made such an acute observation.

Moral of the story: Drink Mountain Dew (or Mtn Dew, pshhh yeahh abbreviations revamp your brand for the win) for breakfast.

The end,

Y
