Day 78: Ranch anyone?

We went to the temple today and did some sealings with Shaun and Nicolette. We then went to Longhorn steakhouse. The food wasn't that great, and it's severely overpriced. Overall, we had a great time.
On our way home, we stopped by the Walmart in Mansfield. It is probably the best one I've ever been to. Maybe the best in the world. They have Everything. We got strawberries for a dollar a pound. We haven't had ranch dressing for awhile, so we decided to pick some up. The following is what we were faced with:


6 different sized bottled all the same type, original ranch, and don't be fooled just because the one says light. We had to use that one to represent the large bottle because they were out of stock of the original. Hidden Valley must know something about making a product to fit specific market. It is beyond my understanding why you need six different sizes.
Selecting the right ranch dressing to fit our needs was no easy task. I think Allison took at least 15 minutes trying to figure out which one to get. She just stood there, staring. She couldn't decide if she should get the lowest price one, but sacrifice value, or go for value, price per ounce, and pay more total price. Eventually, we ended up choosing the average bottle. Forget value because our last bottle of Ranch went rancid. It was too large for just the two of us. And The cheapest one. Well, the bottle barely has enough in it to cover a single salad, so it got nixed.

Oh and Longhorn's ranch salad dressing is gross.
