Make the Right Choice

We had an urgent ladle situation on Saturday. I drove up to the dollar store and bought some ladles, and one of the ladle labels caught my attention.

It listed the characteristics of the ladle. They were

  • Best quality
  • Easy to use
  • Right choice
  • Excellent design

Just think how often that distinction is overlooked. I mean, if you’re comparing two different ladles, and one says it’s the right choice and the other doesn’t say it’s the right choice, then you should go with the one that is the right choice, right?

I think the label should go one step further: add a line to say “The other ladle you’re considering is bad.”
