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.”

Oh, and here I thought you were going to say the right choice was voting for my chili Saturday.

No, the right choice would have been voting for my wife’s chili.

I’m going to have to start noticing labels more often. They seem to be golden nuggets of information.
