4th Best

Normal day, just like every other summer friday, my mom, my little sisters (Steph, and Leah), and I went to the gym we belong to. We walked in scanned our ID cards and headed towards the babysitting room to drop off steph and leah. On the way to the room we passed a table with vitamins, protein shakes, and other powdered mixtures to add to drinks to improve the drinkers health (At least thats what they are supposed to do!) After quickly glancing at the table we continued on through our routine, drop of Steph and Leah, place our purses in a locker (in the locker room), weigh ourselves, walk away from the scale disappointed, and then on to the actual workout. After many torturous machines and weights we went through the 'leaving' routine, pick up our purses, pick up Steph and Leah, and then leave, and once again we passed the table with the health supplements. Upon reading the sign on the table (that we had neglected reading the first time we passed) my mother and I started to laugh. The sign stated that the supplements were rated 4th best tasting!! Now someone explain to me why I would buy something advertised as 4th best. Not even the manufacturers of the product are confident that it is the best Would you buy the 4th best anything, computer, beverage, food, stereo, or car; when you could easily buy the best? And out of how many supplements was this rated against? 4 perhaps? They dont tell you that now do they. If it was out of 4 than saying it was 4th best is just as good as saying it is the last, or the worst tasting supplement. Would you buy the worst computer, beverage, food, stereo, car? I think not. So whats the moral of this story?
Well the moral of this story is probably:
Be careful of what your buying,
or: Don't buy the fourth best buy the best.
But overall the moral is simply:
Don't buy any health supplements
(they all taste bad even the best tasting ones are rated by the 'which of these do you dislike the least' scale)
luv ya all!
