“Better Things for Better Living Through Chemistry…Or Maybe Costco?”

12.11.2024 by Fred Berman //

In about 1935 DuPont came up with this advertising slogan; the chemistry one.  The Costco replacement is mine.

Today I had my Costco hearing aids serviced there, my eyeglass frames adjusted (also purchased there), picked up 6 prescriptions at their pharmacy plus 2 cases of protein shakes and had a free lunch of samples that included a feta and onion tart, a soup dumpling, crackers with brie and 1/4 of a turkey on white with mayo.  All this while avoiding being tempted by both their loss leader Sodium Bomb $5 Rotisserie Chickens and the tasty $1.50 roll of fat and mystery meat they call hot dogs.

“Better living through Costco!”  If not better, at least a little more convenient if you love large crowds and jumbo boxes of cereal!
