The neighborhood vending machine....25 cents for a small bouncing ball, right by the shop window.
Every child wants one before leaving the store..and mom just happens to have change in her hand.
The science of marketing is upon us, not just for the holiday, but everyday.
It's scary to know that "they" have our needs and desires all figured out.
