Ah, Target, a marketplace perfectly designed to induce spur-of-the-moment purchases. Walk into a Target feeling emotionally vulnerable, and you’ll walk out $200 lighter, carrying three different cotton nightshirts, a nine-pack of Swiffer replacement cartridges, a pink trashcan, and a some kind of chocolate-covered potato chip. Oh and is that a large bag of sour gummy bears? Why not! And you’ve always wanted a set of Mets tumblers. Should you get outdoor string lights? They’re on sale. You should also throw a mini bucket of cinnamon gum in your basket at check out. What were we talking about? Oh, right, now they’re selling $5 wine.
That’s via Today; the line is called “California Roots.” Let’s pause to appreciate some truly incredible press release writing:
