Supermarket product placement hurts my headFollow

It is just not fair.

I shop, I buy Christmas presents, stock up on fresh good, I avoid the sweets and chocolate (so hard) and I approach the checkout.

I have a weakness and that weakness is baileys. I adore it. Liquid silk in a glass

I am trying so hard to keep to my diet and try not looking at the chocolate at the counters. My eyes keep forward to the till when I see to my side a new product with large signs ..

Mint flavour baileys.

A bottle leapt into my trolley as if by magic. Totally unfair to place such temptation near me

Today I wake with a slightly sore head from mint baileys and I know its no longer safe for me to shop at Tescos.


Bleh supermarkets and product placement, us poor weak willed chocoholics have a hard enough time without mint baileys at checkouts.

Godiva does have a chocolate liquor. It is pretty good too.

My weakness is fresh baked french bread. If they have that rack of still hot from the oven bread anywear near the checkstand, I'm leaving the store with 2 loaves. One will be half gone by the time I get home.

Hmmm I think I will have to go buy me some Bailey's. My mom just made her batch of khalua that she does every year about this time. Bailey's and khalua mix well. Maybe I'll buy some Grand Marnier too and make B-52s.

This time of year, I adore curling up on a cold evening with a cup of hot chocolate and baileys. I bet it would be great with the mint baileys too.

Nexa

Bleh. Always hated chocolate-flavored liquors. I want my liquor to taste like alcohol, and my hot chocolate like it was just made by Mexicans.

And just what the hell is liquor doing at the checkout?

Nothing ever is.
