I don’t know what to say except I finally realized that pennies on the dollars means nothing. Now this revelation came after having some drinks and watching a little television at 3 a.m. in the morning, eating cereal before bed. I happened to arrive at this astounding conclusion about the aforementioned phrase.
Basically pennies on the dollar could mean $.99 on the $1. After all, 99 pennies still fits the phrase and that’s 1% savings, which to anyone is shit. Put it this way, going to go to a department store because they have your favorite brand on sale for 1% would absolutely annoy anyone. Unless we are talking about a very large purchase (car, boat, house) 1% does not seem like a very good deal. Yet when watching infomercials early in the morning, the salesperson is trying to convince me that “pennies on the dollar” would mean huge savings.
Of course it would be, but that wouldn’t leave them a very good profit, so we can assume we are not getting the greatest deal of our lives like the advertisement suggestions. Anyhow, just wanted to share with you all my random thought process after a night of consuming adult beverages, chowing down on some cereal before bed.
