Salesman : " Sir, do you want to take a look at our new range of fully automatic nose hair removal tools?"
Chuck : " Hmmm..."
Salesman : " And guess what. There's more. It comes at an introductory price of Rs. XX99.99 only!"
Chuck : "(A little more interested) Hmmm..."
Salesman : " And thats not all. You get a pack of chips for free."
Chuck: " Really. Wow. Awesome offer. I'll take it "
I would be lying if I said that this conversation was real. But I will testify that it is an exaggerated version of something I saw at the local supermarket the other day. I thought I'd have my classic Steven Levitt moment and try and come up with a rational explanation for what I saw. After a couple of minutes of pondering, I figured Steven Levitt would probably tear his hair our before he could start to explain the seemingly irrational but yet satisfied Indian consumer. So treaded the path of prudence over insanity and left it at that.
