    And there you have the mantra behind our current commercialism.

    Except that it doesn’t really work that way. People buy what they want, need, and desire if it is reasonably priced. The two sweater could be priced higher than the single and still sell. This argument is senseless.

    I guess they think the parents with twins will buy two instead of one. Instead most of them won’t buy any at all.

    Gokie5: Or why German’s chocolate (still made according to their web site) is not stocked around here – don’t these people know about scratch-made cake?

    DavidHuieGreen: When quality is not job one? I was once a professional model maker. Model competition separated kit, conversion (use a kit to make a different subject), and scratch, not only because of different levels of difficulty, but because scratch were generally of museum quality while kit might be but the subject is overly covered. It is the same with cooking. I can respect a conversion, using a mix as just another ingredient, but a kit cake will never exceed even a merely competent scratch one.
